At Grace City, North Dakota, Justin Topp says his soybean yields came in better than expected. “We were extremely dry in July and August,” said Topp. “Beans looked really, really good up until then, but with no rain in July and August, we weren’t really sure what it was going to be, but the beans did way better than we we anticipated.” The attention now turns to the corn harvest. The Topp farm has started to apply P and K for next year’s corn crop. “It’s actually it’s been great conditions for that.” However, rising fertilizer costs remain a concern.
