A farmer in west-central Iowa began planting this week.
Brent Johnson of Manson says field conditions are pretty good despite less-than-ideal weather.
“But just in the last couple days we’ve really started making some headway as far as getting some fields planted and worked up, and things are working really well. Just looking for some rain in our part of the state.”
Speaking to Brownfield this Thursday morning, he says soil temps are bouncing above and below 50 degrees.
