Fighting Mud in Extreme NW MN

Harvest conditions remain uneven across northwest Minnesota as wet fields continue to challenge farmers. Roseau area farmer Richard Magnusson says his own harvest is complete, but others are still battling standing water. “It’s awfully wet around the area.” Despite the soggy finish, Magnusson says yields have been good for most growers. Yet, the harvest has been miserable. “West of Roseau, it’s been really wet for the last month, to the point that the only way to travel is on tracks or they’re in mud all the time.”
