Planting season much better than last year Posted By: Ben Butler May 13, 2009 @ 4:35 am Today's Local News Tweet Share Email Despite a wet spring, farmer's are making good progress this planting season compared with last. Washington County Extension Education Director Gene Mohling says about 85% of corn is in the ground, and nearly 20% of soybeans have been planted. Mohling says the one drawback of this is a lower price. Last year delays and flooding drove the price of both commodities up significantly.
