Rain, Rain, Go Away

This has not been a typical spring. “This isn’t our wettest spring, but it is one of our most trying,” says Todd Stanley, who farms at Grygla, Minnesota. “It just rains every day or every other day. People have been in the fields over a month and there’s still a fair amount of planting left to do.” With the wet conditions, Stanley still hopes to finish planting before all of the crop insurance deadlines hit. “We’ve still got 500 acres of soybeans to plant and we’re hoping for some nice days to get finished up.”
