Ohio Planting Limited by Rain
Ohio Ag Connection - 05/03/2016
Rain throughout the week kept growers in the northern parts of the state from doing fieldwork, while growers in the south were afforded more opportunities to plant crops, according to Cheryl Turner, Ohio state statistician of the USDA's National Agricultural
Statistics Service. There were 2.8 days suitable for fieldwork for the week ending Sunday.
The rain and cool temperatures in the northern counties limited most fieldwork to topdressing wheat and spraying for weeds.
Some fields had standing water as well. Growers further south had more ideal weather for planting, and planted corn, oats, and even some soybeans.
Producers throughout the state reported slow hay and pasture growth. Growers are also applying fertilizer when able to get into fields.
