An agronomist says after a stretch of cool weather, he expects the planting pace to pick up starting now. Scott Rountree with Pioneer works with farmers in southern Wisconsin. He says, “I think a lot of growers will be in the fields here Thursday, Friday, Saturday with the first big push on planting. We’ll get into a warming trend and that’s what we as agronomists generally like to recommend. Even if we’re not at soil temperature of 50, we want to be planting into a warming trend.”
Rountree tells Brownfield more farmers are planting soybeans first.
