Corn planting is complete, with corn doughing at 83%, and corn dented at 44% across the 18 states that account for 92% of the corn acreage, in line with the five-year average. Soybean planting is complete in the 18 states that represent 96% of the soybean acreage, with 89% setting pods, in line with the five-year average.
Tracking crop progress is important, as crop drying facilities rely heavily on propane during the harvest season.
