Area farmers patiently waiting to get into the fields

While it’s undoubtedly getting warmer, many of Hillsboro’s farmers are patiently waiting to get into the fields. Maybe the first part of next week, they say. Maybe this weekend, others are thinking. Meanwhile, some were scratching around on Wednesday of this week. One farmer had his young son along. All the more reason to be in the field. Daytime temperatures in the 70s and 80s should have all farmers in the fields next week.
