Yields better than anticipated in southwest Minnesota

Yields better than anticipated in southwest Minnesota

Harvest is winding down in parts of southwestern Minnesota.

Tim Velde of Granite Falls tells Brownfield it was a difficult growing season.

“We started off the year wet, and then the faucet just completely shut off. We went for about a month and a half with absolutely no rain, got to the first part of August (and) had a real nice shower. And then after that we had a lot of .2 and .3, which doesn’t amount to much.”

He says yields are better than anticipated partly because of crop genetics.
