Farmers Eagerly Awaiting Arrival Or Warmer Temperatures

Farmers in Essex County are eager to see temperatures warm up soon.
 
Planting season is fast approaching. It likely won't arrive early.
 
"In the past, we have planted some corn in April, if the weather permits, if it warmed up," Lakeshore's Leo Guilbeault said. "It doesn't look like it's going to happen this year. It's little too cold yet. We need the temperature to warm up another 10 degrees here."
 
He hopes to have his corn seeds in the ground within two weeks.

Learn why preventing weeds from emerging matters and how early control helps keep resources where they belong: with your crop.
