Central Ohio farmer John Linder says after nearly ideal conditions in early April, he hasn’t been able to plant in May.
“There’s certainty a little stress to be at the end of the second week of May and have only twenty percent of your crops in for both corn and soybeans,” he says. “We like to have corn wrapped up by May 25, so we need a stretch of dry days to reach our goals for corn planting and we can extend soybean planting a little.”
He tells Brownfield the corn that is planted is getting ready to emerge.
