June 1 Louisiana Crop Progress And Condition Report

USDA

NASS

The June 1, 2026 USDA NASS national crop progress database shows that while Louisiana's corn and cotton crops are steadily progressing, they have experienced different impacts from recent weather. [1]

Louisiana Crop Details (June 1, 2026)

  • Corn: Louisiana's corn crop has fully emerged. While specific state-by-season percentage breakdowns (Very Poor to Excellent) are published locally via the regional NASS field offices, the overall Southern Delta corn crop is maintaining standard conditions. Nationally, the inaugural corn rating came in at 67% Good-to-Excellent. [1, 2]

  • Cotton: Planting in Louisiana has slowed and is currently lagging behind its five-year historical average due to excessive field wetness. [1, 2]

As of early June 2026, rice planting is fully complete and soybean planting is nearly finished across Louisiana. Wet weather conditions over the past week have restricted field activity, slowing down remaining row crop management and fieldwork. [1]

The state's grain crop conditions remain highly favorable despite recent rain delays. [1]

🌾 Louisiana Grain Planting Progress & Conditions

Regional field data from the USDA NASS Weekly Crop Progress Reports highlight the status of key Louisiana grain commodities:

  • Rice: 100% planted (up from 99% complete in late May). The crop's condition is exceptionally strong, with 80% rated good-to-excellent.

  • Soybeans: 94% planted, running notably ahead of the national average

📈 National Context

Louisiana remains ahead of several other major grain-producing states. Nationwide, corn planting sits at roughly 76% complete, while total U.S. soybean planting is tracked at 67% complete. Louisiana farmers surged ahead early in the season due to a warm winter and an initially dry, warm spring window. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
