Planting begins....

Planting season has begun here at Johnson Family Farms! We were blessed with extremely good planting conditions and weather to start the 2021 planting season. We had the opportunity to plant six days while taking Easter Sunday off to enjoy with family. It is now raining here and much cooler, but we are optimistic that what we have already planted will handle these cooler and wetter conditions and emerge just fine. There was quite a bit of fieldwork and planting activity in our local area of Central Illinois the last week and many neighbors have made great progress on their 2021 crop plantings. Given the current forecast, it may be a little while before we are back in the fields. Be safe out there and please be patient with all the large farm equipment traveling the roads this spring!
