Pella area farmers plow through wet spells for corn
Farmers across the East Prairie area hustled to plant corn as weather swung from wet to workable.

A sight-filled day included children and locals posing by storefronts, with Cannery planting near Porterville and a push to finish by June 12th for Pella’s Massillon canning program.
