Crops are performing well in the Stephen area of northwest Minnesota. “The small grains look exceptionally well,” Brent Halfmann told RRFN during Tuesday’s Crop Watch broadcast. There were some stand issues in sugarbeets, and Halfmann had to replant. The crop is behind and will need a long growing season. “In the last couple of years, it seems like we run into August and the beets just go stagnant for three weeks. I’m hoping we can see some rainfall in July and August, just grow all the way through that and see where they end up.”
