Watch: Sky view of tractors planting with grain drills

Late last week, the Sky 7 crew found the Clarks planting corn along Covington-Bradford Road and Rangeline Road during a rare dry field day. Both men drove big tractors pulling grain drills through acreage divided by wooded areas and a growing wheat field.

Neil Clark started his planting run along the lush green wheat that was planted last fall. Clark stopped the tractor a few times and knelt in the soil to check the spacing of the seed corn while Scott Clark planted on the other side of the 85-acre field.

Last year, farmers in Ohio grew more than 3.2 million acres of corn, 5 million acres of soybeans and 500,000 acres of wheat as part of the state’s more than $90 billion annual agricultural economic output, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
