This season’s on-again, off-again rains have been a challenge. At East Grand Forks, Ashley Altepeter welcomed the drier forecast. “It was kinda weird to go a few days without rain, that’s for sure,” said Altepeter. “Rains have been hit and miss, we’ve gone from 19 inches this season in one area to six inches in another area so it’s just a matter of where these storms have been hitting. If it’s not raining, it seems like it’s 40-mile-an-hour winds, but we’re finally able to catch up on spraying and farm stuff. It’s nice to catch a little bit of a break.”
