The 2023 planting season is finished up for a central Illinois farmer and now he is just waiting for rain.
Travis Rovey of Farmersville tells Brownfield they had ideal conditions for spring in northern Montgomery County.
“We had adequate moisture. Field conditions for the first part of April were ideal. We started planting the Monday after Easter and ground conditions were probably the best they’ve worked in quite a while.”
He says he finished planting about a week ago and now they have hit a dry spell following a half inch rain nearly two weeks ago.
