Wet, cool weather continues to cause trouble for local farmers trying to get their crops out of the fields. ISU Extension Regional Director Gene Mohling says wet grain is taking a chunk out of producer’s operating budgets. Mohling says with current fuel prices, drying down grain can cost producers in excess of 150 dollars per acre.
