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).

 

I'LL HAVE ANOTHER- Scratched from the Belmont!
