Spring planting continues with high winds

Just a quick update on the 2010 crop from western Illinois.  Planting is progressing well.  MUCH better than in 2009, but we all know we don't care to repeat the weather troubles of that year.

Corn is being finished up and beans are started to be planted.  Some farmers are holding off a little concerned Mother Nature hasn't quite warmed it up like it should for the beans to be planted.

There is a chance of frost in some areas of the state tonight.  YIKES!
