The corn was in the ground by April 15, missing the wet spring that most farmers are battling right now. "The corn is coming up and is looking good," said Matt Jungman, Director of Events for Penton Farm Progress.
Wheat growing on the east side of the show grounds is coming along nicely as well.
"Two of the parking lot areas were reseeded into alfalfa. Those are looking good and should get 4 cuttings off before the show," said Jungman.
