Matt Boeve disks a field near Steen Tuesday. Matt, his father, Glen Boeve, and grandfather, Art Boeve, farm 1,500 corn, soybean and alfalfa acres in the Steen area. "We've really just gotten started," he said. "It's good now we've gotten some good rains. It's really working up nice." Roger Carlson, director of the Rock County Farm Service Agency, estimates more than half of the corn acres are planted in Rock County. A few soybean acres are planted, but ideal conditions so far ensure farmers will quickly finish planting.
