Near Brooks, Minnesota, crops could use more rain, but are looking good for now. Swenson Seed Farm owner Keith Swenson said they have had to spray for armyworms in grass crops. Soybean aphid is also present, but hasn’t reached threshold. Harvest is underway for a new crop on the Swenson farm. “Fescue seed grass was an addition for some rotation. If it’s a success, we’ll motor on with some more.” The harvested fescue seed will be brought to Norfarm Seeds in Roseau.
