Local farmers rush to plant crops
Will County farmers are in a race. The rainy, cool spring has delayed planting and farmers are rushing to get their crops in the ground. “I have not planted in the dark in eight to 10 years,” said Manhattan farmer John Kiefner, who has about 500 acres and a horse farm. Kiefner said some days he was in the field at 4:30 a.m. and didn’t finish until 11 p.m., trying to plant corn and soybeans so the seeds have enough time to mature before the first frost in the fall.
