In the south, Chicot and Jefferson are the earliest planted and tillering well. Jefferson will be at green ring next week 6/9 according to the DD-50.  Arkansas, Lonoke, Lee and Monroe Counties are receiving pre-flood nitrogen applications. Desha County was drill seeded on 5/25 while Lincoln was drilled on 6/4.  In the north, only White County remains to be fertilized with urea and water applied. All fields are growing well. Barnyardgrass escapes are visible above the flood in Lawrence around the edges of the field. In all other fields weed control is very good to excellent.
