Crop Roundup Summary
By: Tom Pawlicki, Senior Specialist, Market Intelligence
Weather’s impact on trendline yield potential
- Summary-Weather across most Midwest states has been supportive of trendline or above-trendline yields so far, with timely rains, warm temperatures, and strong early crop development reported. Nebraska remains the main concern, as western dryland areas continue to struggle with spotty rainfall, heat stress, and potential prevent plant acreage, though irrigated production remains in good shape.
- Ohio’s weather has generally been beneficial, with sunny conditions helping fields dry out and recent rains supporting crop health and reducing compaction concerns. Trendline yields appear likely overall, although some later-planted corn could lag slightly behind normal potential.
- Indiana’s weather has been mostly beneficial, with timely rains and warm temperatures helping crops emerge quickly and improve overall condition ratings. Some southern areas of the state have seen excessive moisture and localized replanting, but overall trendline yield potential still looks favorable.
- Central Illinois has been on the dry side recently, but temperatures have remained manageable and recent rains plus a wetter forecast are helping stabilize conditions. Southern Illinois has had overly wet conditions and some replanting, though statewide yield prospects still appear supportive of trendline or better yields.
- Iowa’s weather has been very favorable, with widespread 1–3 inch rains and good heat accumulation supporting strong crop development. Crop ratings are already very strong and conditions currently support trendline to above-trendline yield potential statewide.
- Minnesota has experienced excellent growing weather, including warm temperatures, regular rainfall, and accumulated growing degree days. Early-season concerns from a cold spring have largely disappeared, and trendline or above-trendline yields remain achievable.
- The Dakotas have generally benefited from consistent rains and warm weather that have helped erase prior drought concerns and support strong crop development. Some isolated prevent plant and hail issues remain, but overall conditions currently point toward above-trendline yield potential.
- Nebraska conditions are mixed, with eastern and irrigated areas benefiting from good rainfall and favorable growth while western dryland areas remain stressed from spotty moisture and heat. Irrigated corn looks solid, but dryland concerns and expected prevent plant acreage in the western region create a more cautious outlook for statewide trendline yields.
Crop condition expectations
- Summary-Crop condition ratings are generally expected to improve or remain strong this week across most major Midwest states, supported by timely rains, warm temperatures, and strong early crop development. Nebraska remains more mixed, as strong irrigated crop conditions are being offset by weaker dryland areas in the west suffering from spotty rainfall and heat stress.
- Ohio crop condition ratings were viewed as accurate by reporters and are expected to improve this week as fields continue drying and recent rains support crop growth. Corn stands were described as good overall, with trendline yields still likely despite some late-planted acreage concerns.
- Indiana’s crop condition ratings should improve this week after beneficial rains and warm weather helped crops emerge quickly and develop strong stands. Southern areas have some excess moisture and replanting issues, but overall ratings are expected to move higher.
- Central Illinois conditions are viewed as good-to-excellent, with warmer weather helping crops accelerate growth and recent rains arriving at a favorable time. Southern Illinois has been wetter with some replanting, but statewide ratings are still expected to remain strong.
- Iowa ratings were already above 80% good/excellent on corn and near 80% on soybeans, with expectations they could hold steady or improve further. Widespread beneficial rains and strong crop establishment are supporting excellent early-season conditions.
- Minnesota’s ratings are likely to remain strong and largely unchanged this week as crops continue rapid development under warm temperatures and regular rainfall. Early planting concerns tied to a cold spring are no longer viewed as a major issue.
- Crop conditions across the Dakotas are generally viewed as very good, with consistent rains and improving moisture profiles boosting confidence in crop potential. Some localized issues remain from hail and delayed planting, but overall ratings sentiment is positive.
- Nebraska’s ratings are viewed as more mixed, with irrigated acres in strong shape but western dryland areas struggling from spotty rainfall and heat. Current ratings near 58% good/excellent were described as roughly average, with limited “excellent” crop conditions seen statewide.
Prevent plant likelihood
- Summary-Prevent plant risk remains minimal across most Midwest states and generally near normal levels, with the notable exception of western Nebraska and parts of the western Plains where dryness could still lead to meaningful prevent plant acreage.
- Ohio’s prevent plant is expected to stay limited as improving weather has allowed planting progress to catch up.
- Indiana’s prevent plant looks minimal and close to normal, with most acres successfully planted despite isolated wet spots.
- In Illinois, prevent plant concerns appear limited, though southern Illinois has seen some localized replanting from excessive moisture.
- Iowa’s prevent plant is expected to be near zero and typical versus past years.
- Very little prevent plant has been reported in Minnesota, with planting progress generally recovering well from the slow spring.
- Prevent plant in the Dakotas is mostly expected to remain low, although northeastern South Dakota could still face isolated issues if rains persist.
- Nebraska has the largest prevent plant risk, especially in western dryland areas where dryness may leave significant acres unplanted.
