Planting Getting Underway In Parts Of Iowa

(Des Moines) —  Spring planting is starting up in Iowa. 

The U-S-D-A’s weekly crop report says most of last week was favorable for fieldwork and once soil temperatures warmed up enough that work turned from the preparation of the soil to planting in some areas. 

The report says four percent of the projected corn crop is in the ground. 

There were scattered reports of soybeans planted. 

The most progress was made with oats — as two-thirds of that crop has been planted.
