For the third year in a row, Crookston farmer Tim Dufault finished planting in June. “Even though we started with an early spring we had lots of rain. Things have finally dried out fairly decent and we still had to drive around some spots to get the field done.” Insects have been a headache. “Some leafhoppers and other bugs have caused us to spray the wheat fields,” said Dufault. “Hopefully, these are the only surprises we have this growing season as far as insects.”
