Rainy weather has left fields saturated and prevented farmers from getting work done. OSU extension educator Ed Lentz said that farmers would already be in the field by now.

Lentz said that farmers prefer to have a strong start because planting late could affect yields. He said that he remains optimistic that things could still turn out well if summer and fall cooperate.
