Indiana Planting Delays

Farmers in Indiana have seen heavy rainfalls this spring. Cross Creek Ag Solutions Owner and President, Brad Downing of Howard County Indiana says planting is behind for most of the area. “We are behind, there is no question about it. We have not started in the greatest conditions but it’s not catastrophically terrible either. There is still potential to have a good crop.” Downing says the biggest problem is getting the rest of the crop planted but the fields that were planted early are not in the clear. “The stuff that was planted early was planted in really rough conditions. Some of the rain that we got fixed some of those issues but held us out of getting the rest done. It was kind of a catch-22.”
