I’m not worried yet. Odds are we will be fine, and we will have an excellent crop. Too wet is typically a much bigger cause of yield loss here than too dry. Dry at planting typically means better stands and better roots. But we will need very timely rains… Yup, I hear your concerns. I remember even questioning you last summer on why you were gonna go ahead and spend money on fungicide cuz it was so friggin dry in your area. There were areas in the north half of Mitchell county that just got clobbered last year. Friend of mine north of St. Ansgar had his worst yields in his 50 year farming career, on some very good dirt too. March is usually a pretty crappy, wet month for us, we need it badly this year. |
