IL farmer thankful for the rain; ready to plant

The month of April has brought significant moisture to much of the Midwest.

Central Illinois farmer, and Illinois Soybean Association chairman, Ron Kindred tells Brownfield it was needed…

“We’d had some abnormally dry weather and warm weather up until this point.”  He says, “We’ve gotten an inch and six tenths.  We had leveled off some chisel ground and there wasn’t any moisture you could see in it at all when you leveled it off.
