Rain and wet fields delayed some planting progress in the Badger, Minnesota area last week. Farmer Shayne Isane has been able to plant spring wheat, soybeans and a portion of this year’s corn crop. However, last year’s corn ground is proving to be challenging. “We are running into wet ground and we could be close to the end,” said Isane. “It is what it is and the crops that went in look ok, but it’s been a struggle to find dry ground toward the end.” It’s a similar situation near Ada, Minnesota. Farmer John Brainard was hoping to get everything planted, but last fall’s unharvested sugarbeet ground was still wet. “We’re trying to be patient.” South of Valley City, North Dakota, Monte Peterson had a tough time getting corn planted and soybeans aren’t getting in much easier. “I managed to get in a few partial fields and switched to soybeans. We’ve got a start with the soybeans and we’ll keep working at it. It sure hasn’t come around quickly.” In parts of northeastern South Dakota planting is slow. Houghton farmer Troy Knecht described fields as unusually wet. “The high water table has really affected us,” said Knecht. “We did get our corn planted, but haven’t made too much progress on soybeans.” Listen to the segment.
