It’s been a long spring, but Erickson Ag Advantage owner Jonathon Erickson is satisfied with the progress. “We got going on April 10, got rain delays, got back in again on small grains at the end of April and we had a really good stretch in the middle of May with a lot of guys finishing up their corn and small grains and got going on soybeans.” The small grains like the cool conditions, but the corn needs heat. When RRFN was with Erickson at Hannaford, North Dakota Tuesday he estimated less than half of the soybeans were planted. “We can get a lot of acres done in a day so if we could just get a stretch here and get going, we could wrap things up.” Erickson said edible bean planting will kick in in the week ahead.
