Rain once again fell across Michiana on Thursday, the fourth day in a row of showers in South Bend.
With such a rainy spring and planting season, you might be surprised to learn that planting progress for corn and soybeans is mostly on track across the Hoosier state.
Soybeans in Indiana are actually going into the ground at a slightly ABOVE average pace.
Farmers will likely take advantage of dry weather this upcoming weekend before more rain and storm chances arrive next week.
