Spring planting affected by flooding

Area farmers are in the process of completing their spring planting. Area Agronomist Wayne Flanary says landowners in portions of Atchison, Holt and Buchanan Counties continue to be affected by this springs flooding.

"Of course the flooding affect on the Missouri River bottom.  The water has come up in areas, and in some areas when it was extremely high, it's moved off.  So those places are still not being - I guess - where it moved off earlier, people are going in and maybe planting where there's not such an opportunity for additional flooding risk.  But those areas that are where the river comes up and where the levees are open, there's water that's out there and you know, it's still flooded."
