Off to a Good Start

In northeastern North Dakota, St. Thomas farmer Allen Tucker is pleased with his crops. “Our wheat looks just really great; I’m excited for our wheat crop and our barley crop,” Tucker told RRFN. “The sugarbeets are coming through well. They’re just tiny two–leaf beets, but there’s lots of them and they’re off to a great start.” Tucker’s early potato varieties are just beginning to emerge. The navies are planted and, as of Tuesday, the pinto beans weren’t in the ground yet.
