Powerful winds whipped up planting season dust across the country during the weekend, prompting a dust storm warning in Chicago, which has not seen one of such magnitude since 1934.
Corn was 78% planted, soybeans were 66% planted and winter wheat was rated 52% good to excellent as of Sunday, May 18, according to USDA NASS' weekly Crop Progress report released on Monday.
In a rare Sunday night meeting, four Republican members of the committee who had voted against the budget reconciliation package Friday changed their votes to "present." The committee vote was 17-16 with all Democrats in opposition and the four "present" votes. The bill should get a full House vote before the end of the week.
