Ohio Ag Connection - 06/18/2019

Much of the State received higher than normal amounts of rain last week, according to Cheryl Turner, state statistician, USDA NASS, Ohio Field Office. There were 2.5 days suitable for fieldwork in Ohio during the week ending Sunday. Temperatures slumped nearly 6 degrees below normal.

Corn and soybean planted progress increased but were still well behind their 5-year averages.

Wheat began to mature and was rated 65 percent fair to good condition.

There were reports of hay fields and pastures that were difficult or impossible to mow due to increased soil moisture levels. Operators making haylage found it easier to stay on schedule than those making dry hay. First cutting progress for alfalfa and other hay also lagged behind their 5-year averages.

Oats planted progress crept to 91 percent while oats reached the headed stage slower than the 5-year average.
