    As of this posting, the article is not behind a paywall.

    But here is the gist of it:

    Nationwide, farmers have planted 49% of their intended corn acres, far below the 80% average for this time of year, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Just 19% of soybean acres have been planted, compared with the 47% average. This year’s corn planting is the slowest since record-keeping began in 1980, according to agricultural economists at the University of Illinois.
