The lunar year is 355 days...not 360. The ancients adjusted the lunar year to the solar year with intercalated months, ie Adar 2, per a 19 year metonic cycle, in which extra months were added for 7 of the 19 year cycle. There is no such thing as a 360 day lunar year.....
The Jews followed a lunar calendar, but even they corrected their calendar to match the solar....it is a dead end in my opinion to get lost in a swamp of lunar vs solar....the King of the Universe had a reason for not matching the lunar and solar calendars...He could have, but He didn't.
The reality is, we have both....the 0.2422 fraction pertains to the solar year, not the lunar

@sam , drove a few miles outside of town and nothing is planted, nothing plowed, no one working. It's a sad sight.
This should be corn not yellow flowers:
Nat, is it possible this is canola (rapeseed)? or a sunflower or some other broadleaf rotation to corn? often soybean (legume/broadleaf) is rotated with corn as corn being a grass depletes the soil of nitrogen, among other things. it looks cultivated. Also, corn stockpiles/or canola demand may have warranted the farmer to change crops.. also, I did a google search found this reason for late planting has to do with wet conditions, not drought. "Wet conditions in much of the Corn Belt continue to hamper corn planting progress this spring. The USDA’s most recent weekly Crop Progress report indicated that only 15 percent of the corn acreage in 18 major producing states was planted as of April 28, compared to a five-year average of 25 percent. " from the Illinois farmerdocdaily.. The reason I say this is because last year I thought there was "trouble" with the apple trees in our area. Of course my brain says, END TIMES!!! Turns out, it was late frost while the trees were budding their leaves and the leaves suffered a kill. This year they seem to have rallied. We have been colder and wetter since 2006. We have not had the long hot summer like we did in the early 2000's.. We have had pretty brutal seriously cold winters LIKE THEY USED TO HAVE.. I live in the weather and manage pastures, so I KNOW of what I speak here. Things are cycles, ebbs and flows and no man-made computer model can predict 5 days out let alone 12 years or even 20...my two cents on the matter. No, this is butterweed. This field happened to have the most of it of the fields I saw. I wish I would have taken my good camera with me. This field still had the stalks from last year. Nothing had been done to it. Yes, the fields have all been too wet to plant.

The symptoms are the ones that everyone was screaming about 'global warming' which has been changed to 'climate change' (when they discovered that the temps were trending down, not up) indicating a mini-ice age... The last one was during the thirty-years war, early 1600s, and iirc they tend to occur about every 400 years....
