Farmer says crops are looking good

Southern Indiana Farmer Mark Seib says his corn crop is looking good despite warm temperatures at the pollination stage.   

“We were somewhat concerned about the pollination process, but it appears that we have a really good pollination,” he says.

He tells Brownfield timely rains have really helped the crops.

“Every four days we’ve been getting a light shower and half of our rains have been coming through at night,” he says.

Seib says his soybean crop is looking healthy, but it’s going to be shorter this year.

“We haven’t had as much growth on the beans,” he says. “Although the pods sit a lot closer, we don’t have the height of the beans that we normally have had.”

He grows corn and soybeans in Posey County.
