Peterson Farms Seed Lead Field Agronomist Rick Swenson says farmers appear to be sticking to their acreage and planting plans as the season draws near. “I’m not hearing a lot of swapping yet, but I have been hearing some shakeups of people trying to buy all their fertilizer now, and I think that’s going to be more of a challenge just from a price standpoint.” The recent snow systems added even more moisture to the soil profile ahead of planting. “We’ve got adequate to even above average moisture at 20 inches already prior to this, we’re going to be sitting in pretty good shape. “
