Iowa Roundup Back Home Comments from April 30 By Dan Zinkand Crops Editor Northwest Mark Radke Planting is in full swing and everyone decided to start at the same time. The custom applicators are having a tough time keeping up especially since the wind is slowing them down. Some people are tilling their corn stalks while they are waiting for chemical to be applied. Even with the delays planting is ahead of most years. This is the only time of the year that you just wave at your neighbor across the fence instead of stopping to talk a while.
Some people barely look up to do that.
North Central Tony Poppens Got about half the corn done. Probably finish the corn tomorrow, May 1, if we don't get rained out. We'll start spraying the corn today or tomorrow with Harness Extra. The elevator does the spraying for us. We'll go right into beans.
