"Farmers in Michigan are dealing with very wet weather during planting season.
It's putting them behind schedule.
The owner of Hunt Farms in Richfield Township says so far they've only planted about 8 percent of their corn crop.
This is the farmer who plants all the fields ner us, across our norht and the east fence line and Across the road to the west.
Usually by now they've planted between 75 and 90 percent.
Hunt says they only have until June 5th because that's when their crop insurance kicks in.
Until then it's a waiting game.
“The stress is probably the hardest thing on you. Because I'm sitting with all the employees and the responsibility of making these bills I have to pay this fall from the crops grown this year," he said.
MSU Extension says there's still time for farmers to rebound once the fields dry.
But they're going to put in long hours to get there"
this is just the corn crop, didn't even want to talk about the soy bean crop.
