Stand Issues Seen During Crop Watch

Erratic weather conditions at planting time caused lingering issues in the northern Red River Valley. During the Red River Farm Network Crop Watch broadcast, CHS Ag Services Agronomy Manager Chris Kolstoe said there was uneven emergence. “There are some stand issues I would say in sugarbeets,” said Kolstoe. “Overall, I think things look pretty good, but stand counts are probably the biggest issue.” The spray rigs have been busy whenever the weather cooperated.
