Four Hill Farms is located straight east of Barnesville, Minnesota. When RRFN made a stop at the farm Tuesday, the corn, spring wheat and sugarbeet planting was done and the end was in sight for the soybeans. “I expected the corn would have popped up sooner than it is, but it is slowly coming,” said Thompson. “It’s been a long season already because we’ve been going at it for quite a while with the early spring or lack of winter. We got strip-tilling done early which we were able to plant into.” Thompson has also been busy checking pastures for his cattle herd. “The grass is coming; it is not as good as I’d like to see it quite yet.” However, warmer weather has helped the alfalfa take off.
