Spring in Iowa is always a race against the clock, and this year the rain just won’t let up. In this video, we’re dealing with wet fields, tight planting windows, and the constant challenge of trying to get the crop in between showers. What should be go-time in the field quickly turns into waiting, watching the radar, and making tough calls on when (or if) it’s fit to go.
We talk through how these spring rains are impacting field conditions, equipment decisions, and overall planting progress. From mudded-up equipment to worrying about compaction and yield potential, it’s all part of farming in the Midwest.
If you farm in Iowa—or anywhere with unpredictable weather—you know how frustrating this time of year can be. Hopefully the weather breaks soon so we can get back rolling full speed.
Follow along as we navigate another challenging spring and do everything we can to get the crop in the ground.
