Dotzenrod: ‘That’s Farming’

The dry bean harvest is complete for Wyndmere, North Dakota farmer Rudy Dotzenrod. “We had all black beans this year and harvest went pretty good. We had some bigger fields this year in three different areas. Two of them are really good, and one was a bit of a letdown, but that’s farming.” Dotzenrod’s crop had too much moisture early on. “Those big rains stalled the beans for three to five days before they wanted to start growing again. Then we got hurt on our weed control with waterhemp coming in, but overall, we’re happy things still turned out alright.”
