The Red River Farm Network Crop Tour, presented by Pioneer, kicks off today. It will be a packed week, traveling across the Dakotas and Minnesota looking at crop conditions. “We’ve got areas where the crop is looking really good, areas that struggled with rain and other areas that struggled in the spring. The tour will take a look at all of that,” said Zach Fore, product agronomist, Pioneer. “One positive this year for growers in the region so far is the heat. Last year, we got through the summer okay, but then we didn’t get enough heat in the fall to finish the crop and get it harvested. This year, the corn is farther ahead.” Listen to the story.
