Rusty Lindeman of Rusty's Flying Service, based in Dhannis, Texas, comes in over a cornfield Sunday on the west edge of Homer. He was spraying a fungicide to improve yield.
CHAMPAIGN – Rick Reed of Reed's Fly-On Farming in Mattoon says crop dusting in the area is on schedule, but also said corn is very uneven, and there has been a lot of replanting this season.
"Virtually all of the corn is a couple of weeks behind normal growth and maturity," Reed said.
