Ohio farmers are waiting patiently for harvest to begin.
Central Ohio farmer Mike Vallery says his crops lacked Growing Degree Units and is running behind. “Typically from when I planted my soybeans, we should be running them right now,” he says. “But we’re about a week to 10 days behind.”
He tells Brownfield the crop was healthy most of the year, but he’s seen some late-season disease pressure. “Tar Spot has come in,” he says.
