A Northeast Nebraska farmer says he’s second guessing the late start to the planting season.
Jim Miller tells Brownfield he’s about two weeks behind from cool and dry conditions. “As cold as it was there in April, we couldn’t get really excited about getting started. Hindsight, we should’ve been going when it was cold.”
He says his area was in extreme drought, but recent moisture has recharged soils. “Prior to this rain, this ground was really hard and compacted it seemed like,” he says.
