An agronomist says as conditions improve, soil moisture should dictate planting progress.
Jon Zuk covers southeastern Minnesota for Winfield United.
He tells Brownfield every spring there are farmers who regret not waiting for fields to become fit.
“Issues (with) emergence, sidewall smearing, open furrows, those sorts of things. So typically if we can just wait an extra two or three days before we think it’s fit, a lot of times those problems will go away.”
Zuk says if soil four inches deep crumbles in your hand, the ground should be okay.
