Planting is off to a good start for Poseyville farmer

Planting is underway for Poseyville, Indiana farmer Mark Seib.  He says the corn is going into the ground really well.  “We are ahead of last year’s rate of planting,” Seib says.  “We were planting corn in June last year.  We are ahead of schedule right now – although there is rain in the forecast for Thursday, and then Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday.”

He tells Brownfield he’s very pleased with the condition of the soil.  “The temperature has come up to the right temp for us to start planting,” Seib says.  “We have adequate moisture in the ground right now.  Things are going really well for us – and I hate to say that without knocking on wood – but things are really starting to align.”

He says they normally try to start planting corn in mid-April – so he’d call them slightly behind their preferred pace – but says at this point – he’s not too worried.
