“Dusty” used to describe harvest in west central Minnesota

A west-central Minnesota farmer recently completed a dry harvest.

Nathan Collins grows corn, soybeans, alfalfa, and does some custom forage harvesting near Murdock.  He says it’s been a dusty fall.

“We’ve been accustomed to figuring out how to scrape mud off roads and deal with sticky situations, but this year we went back and forth and very smooth. Yields were surprising, but conditions were great.”

He tells Brownfield the growing season started out wet, then turned hot and dry.
