The heavy rainfall last month has limit the time farmers can get in the fields to plant crops. With the planting window closing, John Deere has developed a new high-speed planter to help speed up the process.
The long winter and rainy spring has not been kind to Minnesota farmers. The latest crop report says farmers are way behind the five-year average when it comes to planting corn.
Just when farmers think the weather couldn't get any worse Mother Nature strikes again. First a late spring made it difficult for farmers to start planting crops, now wet weather may delay harvest.
