Missouri farmer says lack of subsoil moisture a concern heading into growing season

A Missouri farmer says the lack of subsoil moisture and inconsistent rainfall are some of his top concerns heading into the growing season. 

Brian Threlkeld raises corn and soybeans in northeast Missouri.  “We didn’t have a lot of snow and we haven’t got a lot of rain right here where I live,” he says.  “We farm in about a 20-mile geography and we’ve had three inches to the west of us, but right here at my house, we’ve only had like an inch.
