Despite limited moisture this spring, Red River Sales and Agronomy sales agronomist Leah Johnson is pleased with the crop conditions in the Elbow Lake, Minnesota area. Wheat has seen the most stress this year, but Johnson isn’t ready to give up on the prospects of good yields. “We’re putting fungicide on the fields that look to have the most yield potential. We never count the wheat out because it’s so hard to predict the yields we’re going to have.” Corn emergence was great this spring, but the crop will need consistent rains to stay in good condition. Later-planted soybeans had a rough start. “With the soybeans that got planted into dry dirt, we’ve kind of got extended emergence.”
