An Update from SW MN

Crops are progressing well in the Worthington, Minnesota area, despite some early-season emergence issues. “We got planted really early and then it cooled off and then it got warm and then cooled off again,” said Bill Gordon. “So you had a lot of soybeans that actually sat in kind of dry soil. Finally got some moisture, most of it’s really doing well, starting to grow with this heat. Now we got some moisture here this last week.” Moisture levels have varied across the region. “South of Worthington they picked up a couple inches here the other night. North of town we were closer to eigh-t tenths,” Gordon said.
