Wheat acreage climbs in Franklin County amid favorable prices
Franklin County farmers have planted 15 000 to 20 000 acres of wheat this year with last year’s yields and acreage already setting records. Farm Service Agency director Dave Hornung notes prices remain attractive if they hold. Droughts hurt fall crops like soybeans and corn, while plentiful spring moisture and drier summers boost wheat potential. farmers expect corn and soybean planting within weeks as rain timing continues to influence overall crop plans.
