An eastern Iowa farmer is poised to be done planting by the end of the month.
Jeff Pape of Dyersville tells Brownfield it’s been a while since he’s experienced a spring as smooth as this one.
“The ground is in beautiful shape, we have good moisture underneath (since) we don’t work the ground (because we’re) no-till. And after we plant, we’re seeing some of the best looking conditions we’ve seen in a long time.”
Pape is finished with his corn and soybean acres and is near the finish line custom planting.
