Cold, Soggy Weather Further Delays US Corn Seeding

Rain, snow and cold temperatures across the US Midwest on Wednesday threatened to further push back the already delayed start of corn seeding and could lead to less corn being planted, agronomists said.

Farmers were expected to plant the most corn acres in 63 years in 2007 to capture historically high prices, but wet soils may ultimately shift some of that planned acreage over to soybeans, which can be planted later in the season, they said.
