# Agronomy eUpdate May 17th, 2019 : Issue 747

> Kansas State's Agronomy eUpdate says excess moisture has dominated the first half of May, with eastern Kansas already above normal May rainfall. The June outlook favors wetter and cooler conditions across the Central Plains. Saturated soils and poor root development are flagged as concerns for spring-seeded crops.

## Why it matters

Wet, cool conditions in the Plains delay planting and may reduce yields for wheat, corn and sorghum, supporting prices. Feed buyers face possible tighter supplies of US feed grains if the outlook holds.
