Oh my, here we go again with all this cold and wet weather. Yes, it is another hard spring for our area farmers to get started. I know of several of our local farm market farmers that have managed to get several plantings of sweet corn and peppers planted. That is super, but the crop will still have a problem trying to mature in this environment. Not only are the wet ground conditions a problem, but the cold does not help the seed germination. And if it has germinated, it is really held back by the cold temperatures. It is so wet in the fields many grain farmers are switching from field corn to soybeans. So, in your travels around the area you might see more soybean fields. You have probably seen more hay still in the fields also, as those farmers have not had enough dry days in a row to bale.
A farmer is one of the most positive, optimistic person I know. Things will turn around and they will be working soooooo hard to bring us the best vegetables and fruits of the year. When they open their farm markets, please be sure to visit them. Do yourself a favor and eat some of the best food around. Remember, you know where this food comes from (his family is eating it too) and it isn’t coming from another country!!!
