Past 45 Days Precipitation Percent of 30 Year Average
Past 45 Days Temp Departure Compared to 30 Year Average
The chart below shows how accumulated precipitation since April 1 compares to benchmark weather years in the Peoria area. Benchmark unfavorable weather year: 2012 (IL corn yield 37% below trend, IL soybean yield 12% below trend) Benchmark favorable weather year: 2014 (IL corn yield 18% above trend, IL soybean yield 12% above trend)
The maps below track crop progress across the U.S. for the corn and soybean crops based on weekly data from the USDA crop progress report. These maps are updated each Tuesday, showing data from the previous Sunday. The colors on the map indicate county-level production levels for each crop. Corn harvesting is now 97% complete nationally, slightly ahead of the 5 year average of 96%, and matching the harvest pace from last year at this time. The only major corn producing state with less than 90% of the harvest complete is Michigan, where 83% of the corn crop had been harvested as of Sunday. There is also still at least 5% of the corn harvest left to complete across North Dakota, Wisconsin, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. None of these areas are running significantly behind the 5 year average, however. Snow in the far northern Midwest over the next couple of days may slow remaining corn harvesting, but drier weather later this week should allow the harvest to near completion in most areas. Soybean harvesting has finished up in most areas.

Global Ag Highlights Vegetative Health Index (VHI) is derived by satellite and is used to help determine whether crops are under stress and can also be used to estimate crop yields. The maps below show the Vegetative Health Index for major growing areas around the world relative to a 30 year average. Values less than zero represent below normal VHI, while values above zero represent above normal VHI. This imagery is updated on a weekly basis. Most recent update: Mar 4, 2017 -20

Regional Vegetative Health Imagery
Midwest PAST 24 HOURS: Light snow favored southeastern Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, and Michigan yesterday. 5 DAY FORECAST: Showers should return to the region Friday and Saturday. The showers will likely mix with snow in northeastern areas. CROP IMPACT: Snow across the region will likely melt a bit later in the week, and this combined with additional showers late week and early in the 6-10 day period should further improve moisture for wheat. Temperatures are rather cold in the region, but no notable winterkill is occurring. Readings should moderate later this week and in the 6-10 day period.
Brazil PAST 24 HOURS: A few showers favored central Sao Paulo, central Mato Grosso do Sul, and central Mato Grosso yesterday. 5 DAY FORECAST: Rains should build across Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, western Goias, southern Sao Paulo, Parana, Santa Catarina, and Rio Grande do Sul through Saturday. 6-10 DAY: The 6-10 day outlook is unchanged. CROP IMPACT: Limited rains in northern areas recently have favored soybean harvesting and safrinha corn planting. More notable showers there this week will slow fieldwork, but should improve moisture for safrinha corn growth. Showers in southern areas recently maintained favorable moisture for late crop growth.
Argentina PAST 24 HOURS: Dry weather prevailed yesterday. 5 DAY FORECAST: Light showers should return to Cordoba, Santa Fe, Entre Rios, and southern Buenos Aires Wednesday and Thursday. Dry weather should prevail otherwise through Saturday. 6-10 DAY: The 6-10 day outlook is wetter in northern areas. CROP IMPACT: Drier weather recently allowed wetness to ease a bit in northeastern areas. Showers in northern areas mid week should maintain moisture for late crop growth.
Other Major Crop Areas South Africa:
Forecast is unchanged; drier trends will allow moisture to decline in favor of corn drydown.
Black Sea:
Forecast is unchanged; warm weather will further melt snow cover and soil moisture will decline further. Page 7 MDA Information Systems LLC ©2016 | 820 W Diamond Ave, Suite 300, Gaithersburg, MD 20878 Tel 240-833-8300 Fax 240-833-8301 | www.mdaus.com | [cornsoy_midwest.pdf—Version 1.0]

Global Ag Highlights Vegetative Health Index (VHI) is derived by satellite and is used to help determine whether crops are under stress and can also be used to estimate crop yields. The maps below show the Vegetative Health Index for major growing areas around the world relative to a 30 year average. Values less than zero represent below normal VHI, while values above zero represent above normal VHI. This imagery is updated on a weekly basis. Most recent update: Mar 4, 2017 -20

Regional Vegetative Health Imagery
Midwest PAST 24 HOURS: Light snow favored southeastern Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, and Michigan yesterday. 5 DAY FORECAST: Showers should return to the region Friday and Saturday. The showers will likely mix with snow in northeastern areas. CROP IMPACT: Snow across the region will likely melt a bit later in the week, and this combined with additional showers late week and early in the 6-10 day period should further improve moisture for wheat. Temperatures are rather cold in the region, but no notable winterkill is occurring. Readings should moderate later this week and in the 6-10 day period.
Brazil PAST 24 HOURS: A few showers favored central Sao Paulo, central Mato Grosso do Sul, and central Mato Grosso yesterday. 5 DAY FORECAST: Rains should build across Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, western Goias, southern Sao Paulo, Parana, Santa Catarina, and Rio Grande do Sul through Saturday. 6-10 DAY: The 6-10 day outlook is unchanged. CROP IMPACT: Limited rains in northern areas recently have favored soybean harvesting and safrinha corn planting. More notable showers there this week will slow fieldwork, but should improve moisture for safrinha corn growth. Showers in southern areas recently maintained favorable moisture for late crop growth.
Argentina PAST 24 HOURS: Dry weather prevailed yesterday. 5 DAY FORECAST: Light showers should return to Cordoba, Santa Fe, Entre Rios, and southern Buenos Aires Wednesday and Thursday. Dry weather should prevail otherwise through Saturday. 6-10 DAY: The 6-10 day outlook is wetter in northern areas. CROP IMPACT: Drier weather recently allowed wetness to ease a bit in northeastern areas. Showers in northern areas mid week should maintain moisture for late crop growth.
Other Major Crop Areas South Africa:
Forecast is unchanged; drier trends will allow moisture to decline in favor of corn drydown.
Black Sea:
Forecast is unchanged; warm weather will further melt snow cover and soil moisture will decline further. Page 7 MDA Information Systems LLC ©2016 | 820 W Diamond Ave, Suite 300, Gaithersburg, MD 20878 Tel 240-833-8300 Fax 240-833-8301 | www.mdaus.com | [cornsoy_midwest.pdf—Version 1.0]

Long Range Potential Crop Impacts Warm and drier conditions in the Delta and Southeast in April will favor corn and soybean planting, but will lower moisture for germination Wetter conditions in the Plains in May will favor heading winter wheat and spring wheat germination Dryness will likely persist across the Delta through June, stressing corn and soybean growth An upturn in showers in the Prairies by June will improve moisture for spring wheat
