(St. Paul, MN) -- Minnesota farmers are nervous about the delayed planting season.

Some farmers say wet weather has put them at least ten days behind.

The state Department of Agriculture's latest report shows that corn planting is only nine-percent complete, down from 48-percent at the same time last year. Soybean planting is only two-percent complete, compared to 59-percent at this time last year.
