An eastern Illinois farmer says he had one of the easiest planting seasons and his crops are looking good.
David Olson grows corn, soybeans, and wheat in Vermillion County.
“We’ve had some recent rains here in July-and you never turn down July rain- and it’s done well,” he says.
But, he tells Brownfield there has been some disease pressure because of the wet and increasingly hot conditions.
“We had some phytophthora in soybeans here with big rains in June,” he says.
