US Corn Acreage
At this point, it is highly unlikely U.S. corn acreage will reach USDA’s March planting intentions figure and there’s a strong chance plantings will come up significantly short due to extreme planting delays in eastern and northwestern parts of the Corn Belt, and severe flooding in the Delta and the southern Midwest.

About 1.3 million acres of corn remained unplanted in North Dakota by May 22. Rather than switching to soybeans or risking an immature corn crop, economics may favor crop insurance claims. AS Seen on DTN
