Farmers across the region are reporting solid crop stands heading into summer, helped by timely rains and above-average growing degree units. Matt Widboom, who farms near Worthington, Minnesota, says weed control has become a serious concern. “There’s so many waterhemp that are shaking off that first shot of spray, and now we’re really limited on what we can do so we’re getting a little more aggressive on getting out and spraying beans early, and that might have to be a multiple-pass approach this season.”
