Rains Delay Nebraska Field Work
04/18/2012

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - Authorities say rain-laden storms have
delayed field work in Nebraska but have raised soil moisture
levels.
     The U.S. Department of Agriculture report for last week says a
survey shows about 4 percent of the expected corn crop has been
planted, compared with 2 percent last year and 1 percent on
average.
     The department also said three-quarters of the expected oat crop
has been planted.
     The winter wheat crop was rated 63 percent good or excellent.
     Spring calving was 88 percent complete.
