The 2024 growing season is nearing an end. “It’s been a very interesting year to say the least,” said Brian Weight, agronomist, Hefty Seed. “We started with an easy, soft winter and it looked like things were going to start early and everything changed. We ended up very late.” Weight, who is based at Lisbon, North Dakota, believes the region will make it through all of September without a frost. “We’ve got corn that’s starting to black layer and we’ve got corn that’s just starting to dent so we’re going to still need a little more time.”
