The wet weather is really starting to cause problems here.None of the wheat has gotten it’s nitrogen applied yet,this time last year 90 percent of the wheat acres had been fertilized.Corn planting will be late too,look for acres to be diverted to soybeans if the seed is available.

Fortunately, the wheat down here is beautiful and there is more of it than there has ever been. We have some of our corn planted, but there are many folks ahead of us. Soybean seed is scarce, but we booked ours last year, so we will probably be able to get it ... just not time yet. Cotton is taking a serious back seat to grains this year, which is saying alot for an area that is known for its ‘white gold’. We’ll probably only have 400 acres of cotton this year.

Rain contains nitrogen (and phosphorus, also found in fertilizer).
