In Minnesota’s Roseau County, Dawson Diesen says corn production is closer to average after several years of exceptionally good crops. “We didn’t have enough rain in some areas, and other areas that had great rain.” Keeping combines, trucks and grain dryers operating efficiently remains a priority. Rising fertilizer costs are also influencing fall fieldwork decisions. “I don’t think we will do any fertilizing this fall with the way that the prices are. Hopefully they come down by spring.”
