Monday’s release of USDA’s first Crop Progress report of the 2024 growing season, which followed last Thursday’s 2024 Prospective Plantings report, has farmers across the Heartland eager for even more information about when and where the #Plant24 growing season will kick off.

Just in time for those insights, Farm Futures’ Feedback from the Field series is back for another year to help farmers across the country share their views on the 2024 growing season!

If you would like to participate, take the survey and share updates about your farm’s spring progress. I review and upload results daily to the FFTF Google MyMap so farmers can see others’ responses from across the country – or even across the county!

Interact with the 2023 Feedback from the Field map:

The series will feature weekly recaps of farmer responses in a column published on Tuesdays as well as relevant market, crop development and weather information for farmers who want to stay in the know about U.S. crop development this season.

You can respond as frequently as you like throughout the growing season. We update questions to reflect current crop conditions. Plus, I’ll be providing regular updates about my lawn (and likely Stella’s reaction to my management program) so we can bond about herbicides and irrigation systems again this year!
