John Boyd Jr., a fourth-generation farmer in the U.S. state of Virginia, has only planted about one fourth of his soybean crop so far this year. "I am part worried and part frustrated and I'm very disappointed," he said. At his family farm in Baskerville, southern Virginia, Boyd told Xinhua earlier this week that the planting window is closing for his soybeans. "If my crop isn't planted one month from right now ... then it's all over for me, and not just for me, (but also) for other American farmers," he said.
