Rain Ravages Fields Hit by Persistent Spring Rains
Franklin County farmers face over a month of rain hindering field work and crop growth. Agricultural agent Bob Bozworth reports widespread damage to wheat, alfalfa, oats, and fescue, with white, dying heads in low areas. Corn shows disease pressure and stunted development while silage potential for late corn remains uncertain. Wild waterlogged ground risks root oxygen deprivation and poor emergence for new plantings, and aerial seeding is deemed unlikely to help.
