Iowa Corn 98% Planted as of June 7, 2026
Iowa corn planting reached 98% complete for the week ending June 7, 2026
What changed
USDA NASS reported Iowa corn at 98% planted for the week ending June 7, 2026. That's up from 97% the prior week — a 1-percentage-point advance as the last few fields got finished. At this point, planting season in Iowa is wrapping up.
Why it matters
With 98% of Iowa's corn acres in the ground, the state's planting window is effectively closed for the vast majority of growers. Attention now shifts from getting seed in the soil to early-season crop development — stand counts, emergence uniformity, and how the crop responds to June weather. Any remaining unplanted acres are a very small share of the total.
What to watch next
- Emergence and crop condition ratings. USDA's weekly Crop Progress report will start showing condition scores (good/excellent percentages) as the crop develops. Those numbers could matter for early yield expectations.
- June weather across Iowa. Rainfall patterns and temperatures over the next few weeks will influence how well this crop establishes. Check local forecasts and soil moisture conditions.
- Remaining unplanted acres. A small number of fields may still need to go in or may shift to other crops. Final planted-acreage figures from USDA later this month will fill in the picture.
