About Half of Marshall Putnam Corn Planted This Spring
Farmers report at the Farm Bureau office that about 50 percent of corn has been planted in Marshall and Putnam counties. Wet soils and late plowing hinder progress with tiling fields and late planting, while early varieties offer better grain quality and storage prospects. University of Illinois experts note possible lower acre yields this year but emphasize early varieties like Early 90-day Western Plowman and Golden King for late planting.
