Planting has come in spurts for west-central Indiana farmer Kevin Cox.
After a solid week of progress, he says rains have him sidelined again. “The unknown is when we’re going to get back to running here,” he says. “We’re just a couple of days away from having all the beans in the ground. And then we’ll be all two or three days getting the rest of the corn in the ground and we’ll have things finished up.”
According to the latest crop report from the USDA just 8 percent of Indiana’s corn crop has been planted, that trails last year and the 5-year average.
