The U.S. Department of Agriculture reported Monday that in the previous week, rainy weather made only 2.6 days suitable for fieldwork across the state.

The USDA says 88% of the expected corn crop had been planted, behind the 98% five-year average. About 64% of soybeans had been planted, behind the 87% five-year average.

Sorghum plantings also were far behind, with 36% this spring rather than the 70% average.
