ELGIN SPRING OK FOR PLANTING

 

According to Peter Johnson, Cereal Specialist with the Ministry of Agriculture, this spring’s weather has been quite favourable for farmers. Despite the dry spell, he notes that the usual problem for planting season is excess moisture – so this spring is a rarity. The only negative factor has been some cold weather. He said that any corn planted early should not be affected;  however alfalfa and hay may experience some setbacks.
