A western Illinois farmer says he’s satisfied with planting progress to this point.
Brady Holst, who farms in Hancock County, tells Brownfield a mid-April window was productive.
“We’re all done with corn and about 75% done with beans, but for our area it’s probably pretty close.” He says, “I would say 80% of the corn is done in our area. So, we’re really far ahead of the other parts of the state.”
He says they’ve since seen beneficial rains.
