Mills County farmers push planting as showers help
Mills County farmers seized a sunny spell to plant corn with estimates that 75 percent may be in by weekend. Planting began early with reports of tractors running through the night. Soil moisture from recent rains spurred progress, while two conservation board members attended a May 8 meeting at Spring Brook State Park and Glenwood’s cloud seeding work logged 12 hours in April. Printing delays from Kansas and Oklahoma floods may have postponed senior photos for this week's Leader.
