METAMORA, Ohio — Last year, a lot of farmers weren't even able to get their crops in the ground. This year, they're planted, but they're worried about how much rain we've been getting recently.
Keith and Alec Truckor farm about 1600 acres in Fulton County. Right now, everything's just been planted, which is an improvement from last year.
"Last year it was very cold, very wet during the spring planting season, it was a very difficult and very stressful year last year," Keith Truckor said.
For a successful year, they need the weather to change.
Truckor measured 3.4 inches of rain on his freshly planted corn and soybeans in just a few days.
"It's like flooding the garden and not allowing plants to take in oxygen, so they're drowning basically," Truckor said.
They're out checking the fields every day. Right now, it's too early to see any corn above the ground, but there are some promising signs with the soybeans.
"We're very satisfied with this so far with the moisture that we've got, and I think we're going to be okay with it on this field," Truckor said.
The small sprouts give them hope that while the growing season isn't off to a great start. They won't have to do too much re-planting because of the water.
"We think we're okay, we hope we're okay and now we're praying that we're okay," Truckor said.
The next 10 days are going to be crucial, but the true test is what these crops are going to look like in July and August.
