Iowa Agriculture Secretary Bill Northey said planting may occur in some areas of the state over the next several days. Northey noted that the weather is expected to turn much cooler, with overnight lows dipping into the upper 30s by Friday and high temperatures falling into the mid-40s on Thursday.
"This April has been the wettest we have seen in the 141 years of weather records compiled by the state climatologist, and the result has been a very slow start to the planting season," Northey said.
