Cold snap stopping progress, making some stone fruits vulnerable

Cold snap stopping progress, making some stone fruits vulnerable

Wet and frosty conditions across Michigan kept most farmers out of fields last week.

Jamie Zmitko-Somers tells Brownfield the weather is starting to put fieldwork on her family’s Shiawassee County crop farm behind.

“We’re kind of sitting back waiting for some of this rain and the cold weather to subside, hoping to get back into the field, get some field work done, and start planting soybeans in the next week or so,” she shares.
