Wednesday morning, Wimbledon, North Dakota farmer Joe Ericson had over an inch of rain in the gauge. That rain added to already saturated soils in the central part of the state. Ericson says both the soybeans and corn are behind. “This last week of warmth has really pushed the corn along. The beans are short, but are starting to come around,” says Ericson. “I think both crops will have below average yields.” Despite the soggy conditions, Erickson has been able to keep up with weed control.
