>Despite receiving roughly half of its normal growing-season rainfall, Justin Dagen said early-season moisture helped produce a good wheat crop and established solid yield potential for potatoes. Dagen, who farms at Karlstad, Minnesota, said the lack of moisture later in the season limited potato yield potential. “The potato crop is going to be okay, but nothing special,” Dagen said. “I expect good quality. We’ll need some more rain to create a good harvest environment.”
