Peterson Farms Seed Regional Agronomist Kelsey Stumvoll is optimistic about this year’s harvest. “A lot of the wheat has been good and I think we’re going to see a pretty good corn and soybean crop,” said Stumvoll. “There’s gonna be those areas that had some extra stress, but there’s also a lot of really nice looking crops out there.” Much of the research about planting dates and plant populations was done more than 20 years ago. In an interview with RRFN, Stumvoll said these agronomic issues need to be revisited. “There’s a lot of changes in technology, a lot of changes in the genetics of our crops. Yes, we talk about it year-after-year but we also see problems year-after-year so we want to take it back to the basics.” Peterson Farms Seed is hosting its annual field day September 7 at its headquarters near Harwood, North Dakota.
