Amy Brateng owns South 89 Seed at Roseau, Minnesota and says the corn in the area is well ahead of schedule. “It’s maybe two weeks ahead of normal; we are in milk stage and I wouldn’t be surprised if we could find some dents here shortly.” Soybeans are in the R4 to R6 stage. Pests have been a persistent problem. “Soybean aphids have been a significant challenge in Roseau County this year in addition to other insects like spider mites and green clover worms.” White mold has also been showing up in the soybean crop.
