In northeast Oklahoma, a farmer reports corn was planted last month. “The corn I planted March 20, before all the rain, is still not up,” the farmer reports. “It has had 5 inches of snow and numerous hard freezes on it so far.”

A farmer from southwestern Illinois says normally planters hit the field around April 15. But this year, he says, he believes the earliest a planter will roll in his area will be sometime after April 25.

In North Dakota, a farmer says there is still plenty of snow and cold weather lingering around. “There is no way will we be in the field by end of April,” the farmer says.

A farmer in Daniels County, Mont., says they still have snow on the ground and freezing temps every night. “It will be 10 to 15 days till we are in the field.”
