Sunny skies and above-average temperatures are speeding spring planting in Minnesota.
In its weekly crop weather report for Minnesota on Tuesday, the U.S. Department of Agriculture says spring wheat is 43 percent planted, compared with 4 percent both at this time last year and the five-year average. Oats were 66 percent planted, 53 points ahead of the average. Barley was 45 percent planted, compared with a 4 percent average.
Corn planting advanced to 13 percent, compared with 0 percent a year ago and a 1 percent average. Sugarbeet planting is 15 percent complete, well ahead of average.
In most areas, thunderstorms early last week did not significantly disrupt spring fieldwork. Soil moisture is rated 79 percent adequate to surplus statewide.
