Ohio's recent spell of rain has made this season difficult for farming and it comes after the state saw record rainfall in 2018.

According to the Ohio Farm Bureau, Ohio typically has planted 30 percent of its corn by this time in the season, but so far only two percent is in the ground. As for soybeans, farmers usually have 10 percent planted, but only one percent is in the ground.

Spectrum News 1 anchor and reporter Chuck Ringwalt visited Gustin Farms in Southern Ohio Tuesday.

The third generation farm grows corn, soybeans and wheat.

Kevin Gustin is farm manager. He said they've been unable to plant as much seed as they should because the ground is soaked.

"I see us for sure working longer days. If we get into a dry spell within the next two weeks, we're probably putting in 24 hour days, having guys come in different shifts and trying to get the crops in before the dates come along," he said.

Ohio farmers need to have their corn and soybean planted by June in order to qualify for crop insurance.
