County Farmers Preparing Fields for Planting of Corn
Green county tractors hum through the day as fields are readied for corn planting though some areas stay too wet. Most planting will be late if not finished next week, with last year’s delay on June 14 noted. Prospects for a bumper hay crop are good as first cutting comes next month. Experts advise against cutting before June 22 due to leaf hopper damage and potential yellowing if eggs survive on stubble. Farmers raise many pigs and buy concentrates. pig mortality is high in some areas but overall pig crop looks solid while cows remain pricey with the milk flush approaching.
