For farmers farming the fertile soils of north-central Indiana, those numbers aren’t just statistics—they mirror what’s happening in the field. Austin Henderson, who farms near Sharpsville and owns Henderson Ag Advantage, likes what he sees across Tipton County and surrounding areas. “Locally here in, you know, north central, central Tipton County, we probably have one of the better crops that I have seen in my career,” Henderson notes. Storms sweeping across central Indiana on Monday that brought heavy winds and timely moisture, relieving fields that were beginning to show stress. “With the advent of waterhemp, you know, it’s always a topic of discussion,” Henderson says.
