The Week on the Farm Thaddeus reports on crop outlook and wildlife
Thaddeus reflects on the year's crop performance across the county noting that averages may dip from last year while some fields may break records due to management and seed choices. He cites weed pressure in soybeans, blight and pollution limiting corn, ongoing harvest delays from weather, and a trend toward soil conserving tillage with disced fields. Wildlife observations include foxes in a planted area and a covey of quail visible in a waterway, framing the season as both challenging and hopeful.
