Minnesota farmer more concerned about dryness than freezing temps
A farmer in southeast Minnesota isn’t worried about the possibility of freezing temperatures later this week.
Ben Storm of Dover says he finished planting corn Monday and soybeans yesterday.
“Nothing is up yet. I dug up some corn and soybeans in the last day or two and (both) have sprouted, but nothing is poking through the ground yet. So the frost shouldn’t hurt anything.”
Temps across southern Minnesota are expected to fall below freezing Friday night into Saturday.
Storm tells Brownfield he’s more concerned about conditions getting too dry.
“But everything is really good. I planted some spots that we probably haven’t planted in two, maybe even three years. So it’s been a very nice spring.”
Storm says a year ago, he was just beginning to plant corn.
