Will county farmers push planting as weather cooperates
Will county farmers work overnight to finish planting with good weather arriving. A. A. Wicklein notes the area is about a week behind schedule while rain had threatened in northern Illinois. University of Illinois agronomists advise slower shifts to earlier maturing corn and soybeans and recommend standard hybrids in northern Illinois until June 10. DeKalb reports about half of northeastern crop planted by May 24 versus 85 percent last year. Will county rainfall is lighter and county is fairly well off.
