Last evening -- after 12 hours of sunshine -- there was obvious growth and more emergence.

I'll stop again this afternoon, and try to post an update.

I saw fields being planted last night and again this morning here in far northwest Iowa -- although the report is that Iowa is 92% complete as to corn planting.
