Waiting For It To Dry Out
Trent Brandenburg got 1.5 inches of rainfall over Easter Weekend, so he is “waiting for it to dry out,” to resume planting. He began
planting last Tuesday, April 15. Trent estimated he has about a third of his corn and soybean acreage planted. He hasn’t yet seen
any germination, as the ground is not yet very warm and “It’s less than a week.
The “abnormally dry” indication for the Piatt County area around Trent’s farm ground on last week’s drouth map
https://droughtmonitor.unl.edu/CurrentMap/StateDroughtMonitor.aspx?IL will be much reduced this week. Trent will
check over his planter and be ready to plant some more after a few days of drying. He has nothing else pending right now.
