Everything Looks Pretty Good, Says Trent
Trent Brandenburg has finished planting except for a few ponds. He is pleased with the germination so far. It is still too wet for
side-dressing, but at least the Drought Monitor shows no dryness in Trent’s farming area of Central Illinois. The cool weather of the past week has held back the growth spurt that usually begins with the onset of summer temperatures.
The National Agricultural Statistics Service just released the results of the 2024 harvest. Piatt County had the second-largest
per-acre soybean yield in Illinois, 77.6 bushels per acre. Corn yield was 241.1 bushels per acre, fifth highest in Illinois. Again in 2024 Piatt County farmland maintained its place in the top five corn and soybean yields in the state. If you are a landowner in the Piatt County area not maximizing your return on your investment, talk to Trent.
