Crops in Decent Shape, Despite Wet Conditions

Rain and wind have been the norm this spring across the region. Ashley Altepeter farms in the East Grand Forks area and received four inches of rain over a two-day window. Despite the soggy weather, Altepeter is pleased with her crops. “We have some winter wheat in that’s looking really good. Canola is good; dealt with beetles in that but we got the crop sprayed. Other than that, our edibles are looking good. If we can get a dry spell, we would see these (dry edible) beans that we just planted shoot up and hopefully, we have a really good crop.”
