Like many farmers in parts of the Corn Belt getting a crop in the ground has been anything but easy for central Indiana farmer Norman Voyles.
Voyles farms about 35 miles southwest of Indianapolis. “It was the 11th of May before we put our first seed in the ground and that was corn,” he says. “A lot of times we’re nearing the end of corn planting that time of year and I was 5 days later getting soybeans planted. I finally finished up planting corn on the 31st of May.”
And with about 65 acres of beans left to plant, he tells Brownfield, they’re not finished yet.
