A Michigan agronomist says soil moisture levels are driving where farmers have been able make progress on spring fieldwork.
Helena’s Ben Wilson tells Brownfield, “We’ve certainly got more rain on the West side I would say.”
“The light soils over there are moderating pretty well but the heavier dirt, the rolling clays on the West side are getting held up,” he says “The central and eastern region I would say is somewhat on par with not being too bad on spring rains.”
Wilson also farms with his family in Gratiot County where he says some planting has started.
