Iowa farmers face time pressure as weather shifts toward normal
Iowa officials warn crops could still yield well if a normal weather pattern returns. Dale Cochran says farmers may have several windows to adjust hybrids and planting strategies. Task force members advise farming around wet spots, adopting no till, and delaying nitrogen and herbicide applications. Meteorologists expect a shift to more regular rain about every three days, with an overall warmer summer ahead. Only a fraction of corn acres are planted and growers warn time may run out to complete planting before June 1.
