# Heavy rains lead to crop replant decisions in Minnesota

> MinnStar Bank analyst Kent Thiesse explains replant decisions after heavy June rain caused standing water and drowned-out fields in southern Minnesota and northern Iowa. Corn planted June 5-10 has only about 50-60% of expected yield potential. Late-planted soybeans face reduced yields, with mid-June expectations of 30-40 bushels per acre versus normal 50 or more.

## Why it matters

Flooding-related losses and lower yield potential on late plantings tighten supply at the margin, a modestly supportive factor for corn and soybean prices.
