Crops in Iowa

           Many farmers this year are very unhappy due to our late snowfall this past weekend. Some have already planted their crop and are now having to replant due to the snow and freezing conditions. This is going to cost certain farmers a lot of money and they may not see the yields that they want because of the weather, and may end up not being able to cover their loses this year even after harvest this fall. I have always been taught that you should wait till at least the 15th of May before you should plant anything, even if the weather is nice, because scenarios like this are always a possibility. Jana Huebsch has said, "That she feels sorry for the farmers who planted early this year, and is hoping that it wont effect the cost for consumers, too much." I think that everything will pan out for the rest of the year, but so far this month things have been quite unpredictable.
