PRECIPITATION PATTERN CONTINUES TO REWRITE RECORD BOOK

Precipitation totals last month added up to the third-wettest May on record. The historically wet month has come to an end, wrapping up the fourth-wettest spring, following the sixth-wettest winter. Drier conditions prevailed for some of this week, but only 45 percent of corn has been planted as of June 2, compared with the five-year average of 100 percent. (FarmWeekNow)
