Dan Younggren, who farms in Kittson County, was ready to return to the sugarbeet harvest after a few days off for the heat shutdown. “It’s hard to complain about the weather when it’s 80 degrees.” When harvesting started back up, Younggren said they’d be returning to nice field conditions. While Younggren is hopeful to be able to continue without any more major shutdowns, he said the next problem could be cold conditions. “However, you can usually surf through a cold down to 29/28 degrees and still keep harvesting.”
