Northwest Iowa — The heavy rains this week were not good news for area farmers, many of whom had been on the verge of beginning the harvest.Iowa State University Extension Agronomist Joel De Jong says the recent rains will keep farmers out of the fields for some time.
De Jong says how much of a delay in harvest the weather has caused will vary from field to field.
He says this year’s heavy rains have come at the worst possible time for farmers.
Hopefully Mother Nature will cooperate in helping fields dry out as quickly as possible, and hold off with anymore rain.
