The planting season in Iowa is drawing ever nearer to a close. In many areas of the state, it is still dry. Some areas have gotten a few showers, and a few places received residual heavy rains from the frog stranglers that hit southern Minnesota two weeks ago. If you have experienced weather delays or less-than-ideal planting conditions, you may want to double-check that you have the proper amount of nitrogen fertilizer available for getting your crops off to a good start.
