100% planted here in Maryland. We have lucked out compared to just about the entire country. Hang in there guys.

[@farminstoltzfus]

Notilled all of our corn the first week of June here in north central Indiana. Managed to make 1st cutting hay here as well, although waiting on the dairy farm we chop for to pull the trigger. Some guys were able to get a big chunk of their planting done this week. Some guys are about done.

[@paulhudson8321]

We are 50 miles North east of Toronto Ontario. Really wet and cold spring. Everyone is behind. Ground is wet and cold. We have some oats and barley planted underseeded with hay. No corn planted yet. Finally been sunny for past 3 days but calling for over an inch of rain this coming Monday. Good luck and safe farming.

[@ohiofarmlife4020]

Great series. Last night we were in the last field of corn almost done and a hydraulic line blows on the tractor. We have a few farms that are not getting corn this year because it is already past the insurance dead line here, June 5th and the ground is still wet. We are less than half done with soybeans. Planted till 1am last night was about stuck three times. DeGraff Ohio. I have a few videos up and several to edit when I get a chance.

[@joshwalker3]

Were in western illinois and weve got about 300 acres of beans to plant yet. We also have some tillage to do yet and we get by with two 16 row planters.

[@albertjagt5713]

Hi from Ontario, Canada! Yes we are having bad time over here too! I just read that we have parts on Ontario still have not touched corn yet! Tough going this year!!! Stay strong, you cannot control the weather!!

[@fredivory4304]

Done. Three tomato plants. Three cantaloupes, three strawberries and a honeydew. Great video! I'm praying for all of you.

[@mackbullock1210]

We're in Ontario Canada and we are planning to wrap up corn tomorrow, have about half of the bean acres left. We have had a lot of rain this spring but what i hear other farmers going through, i think we have been pretty lucky this year

Your dog climbing into the tractor is so cute.

[@benjaminbauer4883]

As the Midwest people won’t less rain to plant . Here in eastern Australia we are waiting on rain to plant.

[@andrewubl6079]

Thanks for making all of these videos the past few days because I know that this is a really busy time of the year especially with a lot of rain.Really appreciate it.

[@connorarnold8371]

Love the vid...also we would happily take the rain, we’ve been so dry this spring that we have only gotten 1 inch of total rain over the course of 2 and a half months(since middle of April). Not only that but we’ve also had over 90 degree days which aren’t helping any. Hope your guys crop is having a better turn out than ours. Keep up the good work Ryan

[@andymulligan679]

Started planting corn on April 19 finished planting beans on May 26 live in western Iowa by Defiance crops here look great

[@jadenkuntz7596]

18,000 acres - pea's , wheat, beans, canola been done seeding for 3 weeks. Northern manitoba, Canada. Love the videos Ryan.

[@piperdoug428]

Yeah it's so dry here in Brandon area, little sprinkle today.

[@joepolen7212]

Hi Ryan! I so much enjoy your channel! I am a retired person in northern california and I hired a neighbor to plant my corn in my backyard garden, all of 16 by 16 FEET! last month. Keep up the excellent videos!

[@Dale.Nienow]

Great video Ryan, I don't farm I just watch to see how a farm works!

[@hubbardfarms8174]

Franklin county MO. The corn is all in and up about 2 inches. I got 1/2 "rain in about 30 min. after finishing planting (pounded the ground flat) on June 1 our insurance date. I'm surprised and fairly happy with the stand. No beans in yet gets just about dry enough then another rain. No hay cut yet either.

[@treytonzoss1853]

I’m northeast of Peoria, IL, and I’m finishing planting our last field while writing this comment! This spring has been horrible, but we’ve had one week without rain and we were able to get the last half of our crop in the ground, but under fairly poor conditions. I’m looking forward to being done!!!!!

[@thomascarlile2438]

We finished our corn yesterday and are just starting beans in northwest Indiana

[@nickkercheval2704]

Mid Atlantic (MD, VA, Eastern Panhandle WV, S Central PA most corn done by mid May and most full season beans done by June 1. I was 90% done corn by early May then out of fields for 13 days. Ended up 2 weeks behind with beans

[@slump7071]

From Niagara region, Ontario. Have not seen any farmers out on the fields yet. we get a few nice dry sunny days, followed by 50 - 100 mm of rain, and the nights are still very cold

[@richardpoe2461]

I just came home from South Carolina. They have all of their crops planted. But no rain! Corn about 3ft tall and burnt up! Beans just coming up but turning brown.

[@SteveHolsten]

Thanks for another fine video, Ryan. I've sure been enjoying your planting series!

[@seabeefarmer9789]

Finished planting May 30. Started replanting June3....about 80 miles south of you, north of Davenport, IA.

[@firionrazar3797]

Greatings from western Romania (the most western village)! We had one of the driest spring for the last 10 years (8mm rain in 4 months). Followed by a very rainy may (+200% specific for may) mostly seeding was done in time, but field preparation was bad. Until 1 week ago it was also very cold, corn suffered visibly from the low temps.

[@SoybeanFarmer3300]

Finished beans here in NC on Friday morning. Rained. For the rest of the day

[@Gigitygoo55]

We have around 150 acres of corn done, so were pretty much done with corn. And we’re done with beans but we only have about 50 acres this year. Now waiting on the weather so we can finish setting tobacco! It’s rained all week here. I’m in northeastern Kentucky!

[@artisticimagehairandnailsa4448]

we have 40 acres of beans left here in MN. It just wants to rain every day. Guess I will just have to stay inside and watch you!great video!

[@heavyhauler79]

I feel for all farmers trying to get into their fields, I have started to do some hay cutting and got a very nice 3 day window and great drying conditions. great video Ryan!

[@garykidd4468]

Southern TN and North Alabama, all corn in the ground. Alabama corn is already 4 feet tall. Some Tennessee corn is 2 feet tall. Didn't rain a drop for 15 days and then 3 inches in the last 3 days the corn is really happy. I haven't see but one bean field and it was a small one at that, but it was looking good.

[@juanrosales2619]

Hey love your vids. I live down in Hempstead texas. All of our local farmers have finished planting and their crops are at least almost 2-3 feet tall. I think we got lucky compared to other farmers up north. My uncle is a farmer and he is quite glad the crops are doing good.

[@HowFarmsWork]

Thanks! Has it been a wet spring in Texas?

[@juanrosales2619]

It has been for the beginning of spring and the ground has been wet for a while but it dried off enough to where they could get in the fields .

[@StJamesCustoms]

We got everything planted this year that we can get planted. We’re done on our farm, but I’ve seen a few people still out trying to get some beans and Sudan in yet. Western Nebraska.

Beleve me, nothing is worser than 6 Months without rain like we had here in Europe last year, iam gratful for every drop that comes from the sky

[@bzs187]

For us in Hungary, we had extremly good corn, but for wheat... Yea.. But that's how we are. We don't like if it too much and don't like if there is nothing. :D

[@nicholashartsock2830]

My dad's friend in Lebanon Kansas has all of there 1,500 acer's of corn, and all if there 1,750 acer's of beans in, they still have 200 acer's of Milo to put in, and there is already 1,000 acer's of it in, they should be done planting this weekend for planting, besides winter wheat in the fall. They where able to beat all of the rain before it started this spring

[@davidziebell1693]

I'm in Queensland Australia and we are in the opposite situation we haven't had any decent rain for quite sometime we've been in drought since 2011/2012 and we've only just got enough winter crop in now to get us through we have just baled the last of our summer hay we've had a few really light showers over the past few weeks but no where near what we need

[@HowFarmsWork]

I hope things improve for you!

[@CMagriculture]

We have finished planting corn here in Colorado, now we are just trying to catch a break from the rain long enough to put up hay.

[@michaelspielman4801]

Got about 150 Acres here in Colorado and all I got left is 25 acres of Wheat the Hay is all planted 50 acres of that Corn is in 25 Acres of that and Barley 25 Acres of that stuff. Was really dry last month ploughed the fields in a day except the 25 for the cattle so we got a lot done. Usually it is a bit weter and we get a bit more rain.

[@markhenderson9719]

Great series enjoyed every bit. My dad has a farm in south east Kansas he rented out all but 6 out of 90 acers to the guy down the road. They guy down the road planted it sometime last week. My dad tryed to plant sedan grass in that 6 acers about a month ago its about a foot tall now. Oh and if it does crust over the best way I've found is to go back to some old school tricks and culavait between the rose we did this I think 6 years ago give or take and the next day the corn shot up 3 inches over night

[@williamchambers7235]

Hey! Here in southwestern Ontario we are still planting corn when we should be planting beans. This is without a doubt the latest we have ever planted corn. Our cut off date for crop insurance us June 15....we are not going to make it. I love your channel keep up the good work.

[@MacKenzieMahon]

We just got our first of our corn in today! Fortunately we can get all our corn in within 2 days but we had to take out a bunch of wheat acres due to winter kill and have 0 beans in. We’re located just west of London, ontario

[@justintremelling9014]

40 acres to go. Arena, Wisconsin. Side hills could go but when they flatten out the bottoms are wet. Got stuck once disking it to open it up to get it to dry out. 1st crop hay is harvested already.

[@Well_I_am_just_saying]

I planted my tomatoes, zucchini, summer squash, peppers, and cucumbers the weekend before Memorial Day. I planted peas, onions, beets, Jack be little decorative pumpkins, and sunflowers on Memorial Day. Most seeds are up and no problems with crusting here in central New York State. I only have three small backyard gardens but I figured I might as well give a report also. I would like to try growing some sweet corn, but I really don't have much room for it with my current layout and I can buy corn really cheap All Summer Long anyways.

[@justinopperman222]

We are done planting. The corn and beans are up and looking good. We are about an 1 hour and 30 minutes west of Des Moines Iowa.

[@motoyamaha7731]

[@Magnum_Wolf]

This year we have about 590 acres of potatoes, about 300 acres of barley, and about 120 acres of canola, and with 60 acres left alone (not sure why). My math might be a little off, but that should be pretty close. We've been done planting for about a month, so now we wait, lol. Southern Colorado.

[@George-os1qf]

Been done for about 2 weeks in southern part of Saskatchewan, Canada. I think it has been the driest spring on record here. We have only had 1” of precipitation in the last 4 months.

[@DareDog.]

Farms around here in Central NY Just started doing tillage. Very late this year. Some already have first cutting hay done before planting. never seen that before.

[@TheGrowingGardner]

Ever think of mounting a live cam or two around the farm? Maybe one back by the cow lot and one by the barn looking toward the grain bins or driveway.

[@countryfun3910]

Hey Ryan quick question. Why did you not leave the tractor and the planter in the field till it gets dry. And then another question is. Is it better to follow the land when u plant or till or is better to go as straight as possible

Hey buddy, bum deal for you, if it's any consolation is been exactly the same over here in leeds, West Yorkshire, uk. Had some sunny warm days then rain right when we don't need it, farmers who grow grass for silage or haylage making its been good as the dry days and lost of rain has helped wroth growth for being first cut in. But for planting especially gains. It's been hit and miss!. Hope you get your last 70 acres done, and the yield is good for ya. Good luck cus boy you need just a wee bit right now
