Soy Food Crop Update: April 2025
Midwest
As of early April, planting activity has been fairly limited across the region. Some of the southern areas of the Midwest have gotten a start, but overall, producers in Andres, IL, and Covington, OH are holding off. Many are waiting for drier conditions and warmer weather before heading into the fields.
The past couple of weeks have brought some thunderstorms, and there's hope for more rain in Northern Illinois and parts of Indiana. These showers are especially welcome as the region continues to come off the drought monitor.
Report provided by Addison Rucker, Scoular, April 8th.
