Rain Continues to Delay Ohio Planting Progress
Ohio Ag Connection - 05/23/2017
High temperatures at the beginning of the week helped dry out fields for some planting but spotty rains toward the end of the week delayed further planting. There were 4.4 days suitable for fieldwork in Ohio during the week ending Sunday, according to Cheryl
Turner, Ohio state statistician with the USDA's National Agricultural Statistics Service.
Producers were able to plant corn and soybeans before the rain set in but now are experiencing problems with excess moisture.
A significant amount of fields had to be replanted, and many farmers had to return to fields to handle soil crusting.
Many growers took advantage of a window of opportunity to put up their first cutting of hay.
