Western Iowa farmers pace planting

Farmers in the western third of Iowa are furthest along with planting.

In the northwest corner, Brian Tuttle of Marcus tells Brownfield many growers are wrapping up corn.

“I’m going to finish beans today and then go back to corn. But it looks like with the seven to ten day forecast a lot of things we’ll be wrapped up here.”

He says the ground has firmed back up after weekend rains.
