Yesterday gave many Iowa farmers a sigh of relief and a renewed hope for the future as rain made its way across the state. Some areas picked up a few tenths, and some picked up a couple of inches. While Mother Nature has left us wanting more, we need to remember that any rain is going to help as long as crops aren?t too far gone in drought conditions.
Audio: Full Interview with Jeremy Miner of Channel Seeds
Jeremy Miner is a Technical Agronomist for Channel Seeds. He operates in southeast Iowa, near Williamsburg. He says that while the southeast part of the state was late to the drought party, they were still being affected by the dry conditions. Miner said soil types was playing a huge part in that diversity.
Miner says that he is encouraging producers to be mindful of the weather and crop conditions when proceeding with weed control programs.
Miner says they are seeing some great performance from Channel Seed?s offerings of drought-tolerant traits.
Miner reminds farmers that even though we did not get enough rain to eliminate the drought, this little bit is still going to help our crops.
