On Monday, day will turn into night for a few minutes as a total solar eclipse will move across farm country.
The path of totality from Texas to Ohio will be between 108 and 122 miles wide and take place around 1:30 p.m. CT. The entire country will experience at least a partial eclipse, so what does that mean for farmers?
