Planting preparation is underway and many farmers are making a game plan to achieve higher yields.
Nashville, Illinois farmer Nick Harre tells Brownfield last year’s soybean crop ran out of moisture and was average at best. He tells Brownfield there are some barriers as he strives for a better 2023 crop.
“Input prices are the big one. Those seem to change pretty regularly which makes it difficult to plan. More extreme weather events also make planning field operations more difficult.”
Harre says in the end, weather will dictate the success of the crop, but he is focused on what he CAN control.
