In this week’s Fridays in the Field, we catch up with western Hall County farmer Michael Dibbern as he shares how planting is progressing, why some acres are still on hold, and what the moisture means for early crop development.
Dibbern also talks about the bigger issues on farmers’ minds this season — from running pivots early in a dry spring to the ongoing pressure of high fertilizer and input costs.
With beans already planted and corn about halfway done, the rain may have arrived just in time.
