Central Nebraska farmer Clay Govier says he hasn’t started planting yet because Mother Nature brought some much-needed rain. “For the sake of our pastures and we have a lot of cereal rye cover crop still growing,” he says. “It was starting to get to the point where that was drying some of our fields out so this half-inch of rain gives us a nice little cushion.”
The Broken Bow farmer tells Brownfield he’ll begin planting soon, and this week’s moisture won’t put him behind schedule.
