Crookston, Minnesota area farmer Kevin Capistran says this spring has brought every kind of weather imaginable. “We started off early and it was cold and dry, and then April kind of drug out,” said Capistran. “One day I was planting, I looked down at the thermometer in the cab and said it was 102 degrees and I was still planting wheat and thought, boy, that’s questionable.” Despite the extreme swings in temperature and persistent wind, Capistran said the crop is starting to come through.
