Central Wisconsin farmer patient before planting

A central Wisconsin farmer says he’s been patiently waiting for the weather to warm up before starting to plant.  Zeb Zuehls raises corn, soybeans, and hay near Montello. He says, “I no-till everything, so we have alfalfa seedings all in and everything, and I’m going to start planting here Monday, so, I’m in no big rush. I’ll let the ground warm up, and like I say, all I do is hook onto the planter and plant, so it’s not a big rush, but everybody really kicked it into high gear here yesterday around me.”

Zuehls tells Brownfield the soil temperatures have varied because of his mixed soil types.
