Wettest in 130 years: Kentucky Farm Bureau gives us an update on the growing season

“If there’s been one story in Kentucky this year, it’s been rain and a lot of it.”

Seventy percent of U.S. corn is rated in good to excellent conditions, slightly ahead of this time last year.
As summer begins, farmers are keeping a close eye on weather trends and global trade developments that could shape the season ahead.

Taylor Thompson with the Kentucky Farm Bureau spoke with RFD-TV’s Suzanne Alexander about current crop conditions, what is top of mind for the state’s producers, and what to pay attention to the rest of the year.
