The president of the Michigan Farmers Union tells Brownfield it’s extremely dry for his area in the center of the state.
Bob Thompson grows row corn, soybeans, and hay in Isabella County.
“I personally am cutting hay for the first time in May in my life, but we typically don’t cut until early in June and it’s a short crop,” he shares.
He tells Brownfield some farmers are holding off planting the rest of their soybeans because there isn’t enough moisture to help seeds germinate.
