Iowa corn farmers have been dodging April showers this month to get a start on corn planting. According to the Iowa Crop Progress and Condition report released by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) yesterday, we now have 8% of corn planted in the state. Iowa Corn wants to give you the tools and resources you need to cover #Plant17.  Below is a link to b-roll footage of corn planting. Please note, it is without audio and includes two options, one with the slate and one without. If possible, please provide Iowa Corn a video credit for the footage you use.  You can follow this year's Iowa Corn planting action at #Plant17 using our Facebook, Twitter and YouTube pages.
