CHS Ag Services agronomist Brian Oachs says crops are developing well in the Thief River Falls area. Corn is reaching key growth stages. “A lot of the corn started to get up to that two or three leaf stage, so guys are getting ready to rock if they’re finishing weed control. You want to get certain chemistries down by the five, six leaf stage.” Oachs highlighted the benefits of timely planting. “There’s definitely a big difference when you get in the first half of May versus the first half of June. Wheat looks really nice. Corn and beans look good, too.”
