Snowpack slows calving and planting seasons in Northwest Minnesota

Snowpack slows calving and planting seasons in Northwest Minnesota

A northwest Minnesota cow/calf producer is in the heart of calving season.

Shayne Isane of Badger tells Brownfield there’s a lot of snow to contend with.

“But up to this point it’s been fine. These cold nights we’ve been having has caused us to check and be more aware at night, and we don’t want to do that if we don’t have to. And it’s caused a lot more sleepless nights and we’d just as soon get away from that.”

Isane also grows corn, soybeans, wheat, rye grass, and a few other crops and says it will be a while before they can get in the field.
