An Eastern Nebraska farmer says he’s optimistic about the growing season despite challenges producers are facing.
Michael Bergen of Henderson says his area is in drought, but recent moisture has improved conditions. “They’re a little dryer than what we’d like, but guys have had pretty good growing and we’re right on schedule maybe a few days ahead of where we’d be normally. I think I started planting about five days before I did in 2021.”
He tells Brownfield he moved pivots around this winter and is still waiting for parts to arrive.
