FIRST-GENERATION FARMERS STAY POSITIVE IN CHALLENGING YEAR –

Jared Kunkle, president of the Warren-Henderson Farm Bureau, hoped to start harvest last week on his farm. That was until several inches of rain completely saturated the soil and created a lot of standing water the last official weekend of summer (Sept. 21-22). All the extra moistures makes 2019 one of those years in which farmers just have to roll with the punches. Kunkle shares his strategy for dealing with challenges in this ‘View from the Cab’ special. He hopes to start harvest this week, depending on weather. (FarmWeekNow)
