From Scott Hingtgen
East Central Iowa: pulled the planter out again.planting beans into failed new seeding that was seeded March 19th late freeze, then warm and dry seems to have ruined a lot of seeding. Even seeding planted in April doesn't look good. Oats are heading out 1'-1' 1/2" tall (not good).

From Scott Hingtgen- Jackson County, IA
Jackson County. 1" to 1 1/4".corn and beans in eastern Iowa are what I would call "the good , the bad ,the ugly". 25 % good, 50 % ok. 25 % ugly! (in my unofficial view).
Problem fixed
Yesterday's rain will help rootless #corn recover. Expect 1+" nodal root growth/day. Warm sunshine will accelerate this recovery. -- Matt Foes/Andy Knepp (@DKagronomy)
