Karlstad, Minnesota farmer Kurt Aakre has wrapped up his harvest, reporting better-than-expected yields. “We finished our harvest about two weeks ago, with the corn being the last stuff coming off,” said Aakre. “We’re thankful we got that done; now we are deep banding some fertilizer.” Aakre is happy with all of his crops, but especially the corn. “We did not have a lot of rain this summer and I think the roots went really deep and they found moisture way down; it really helped.”
