Hoosier Farmers on Pace With Planting of Staple Crops

Indiana farmers have planted just over a quarter of the state’s staple crops so far this season.

According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, 26 percent of Indiana’s corn and 25 percent of its soybeans have been planted as of May 4.

Throughout the country, corn planting is 40 percent completed, while soybean planting is 30 percent completed.
