A Northwest Missouri farmer is looking to plant early if conditions remain dry. Richard Oswald tells Brownfield he’s targeting the second week of April for his corn and late April for his soybeans.
“Mainly, the soil temperature is what’s important so I’m not big on [planting] the corn when the soil temperature is still below germination, but it just seems as though the soil warms up earlier and earlier,” he said.
He said this has been one of the drier starts to spring in recent memory.
