A southwest Ohio farmer says he’s expecting an early start to the 2023 planting season.
John Settlemyre tells Brownfield the winter was relatively mild. “Some folks were planting potatoes recently on a very large farm in south central Ohio,” he says. “Which seems very early to me. Soil temperatures are up and the wheat is fairly green for going through the winter.”
He says it won’t be the temperatures that keep farmers out of the field this spring.
