West-central Tennessee farmer John Dodson says he’s been lucky this growing season. “We have had some very timely rainfall,” he says. “So all of our residual herbicides have worked very nicely. Everyone has spent lots of money getting the crop put in and getting the crop cleaned up.”
He tells Brownfield the crop is a little behind the average pace, but the recent hot weather has helped it catch up on GDUs. And, he says, overall his crops look pretty good.
