Record corn planting for northeast Iowa farmer

planting-peter bixel-iowa 4-15Northeast Iowa farmer Dennis Lindsay of Masonville says they wrapped up corn planting this week.

“We finished up a day or so ago,” Lindsay says. “It was the earliest we’ve started and earliest we’ve ever gotten done since I started farming. So it’s kind of a record-setter year.”

Lindsay estimates about three-quarters of the corn is planted in his area and he says some farmers are already planting soybeans.

Lindsay says they stayed with their regular mix of corn and soybean acreage this year.
