Warm-up needed for Bootheel crops


Warm-up needed for Bootheel crops

A farmer in the Missouri Bootheel says the crops could use some sunshine.

Aaron Porter tells Brownfield the warmer temperatures in the forecast are welcome for his irrigated corn and soybeans.

“The corn is pretty pale and the soybeans look a little rough after the frost, but the roots and stems of soybeans are healthy.”

Porter also grows cotton, but he says planting will not start until later this week once the weather warms up.
