U-S Winter Wheat Crop Looking Better Than 2014

Another sign of spring - the USDA has released it's first Crop Progress Report for 2015.

No planting figures for corn or soybeans yet.

However, the report does update the status of the U-S winter wheat crop.

The USDA says 44 per cent of the crop is rated either good or excellent.

That's 9 points better than at this time last year.
