Mild weather across much of the Midwest is allowing farmers more time to complete fall fieldwork.
Stine Seed Company director of agronomy Tom Larson says most corn and soybean growers west of the Mississippi River have finished harvest and are working ground and applying fertilizer.
“Seeing it out my window this morning where now we’ve got this incredible window of great weather and I’m seeing some recreational tillage occurring because the thought process is ‘I can get out there and keep working the ground even though I’ve completed my fall tillage.”
He suggests that extra pass might not be necessary.
