Southwestern Minnesota farmers are parking the combine after a stressful growing season. “Yields are definitely poor across the board,” said Bill Gordon, Worthington, Minnesota. “Some guys maybe had a decent field or two, but with the zeros from the early water we had, it really hurt the yields.” There has been one surprise. “What’s amazing about the year is the quality of the crop. The corn is coming in at 50-60 pound test weights.” Fall tillage is happening although the ground is exceptionally dry and tough on the equipment this year.
