The Associated Press reports Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey said the wet weather and old temperatures are causing a hardship for farmers that need to get fields ready for spring planting.
Northey said farmers want to start soon to prep for planting, especially because the harvest was so late last fall.
This comes after the release of Iowa Crops and Weather report that came out on Monday. The report said there were two less suitable days for fieldwork last week. It also stated that livestock pastures remain dominate and growth in others in limited by cool weather.
