A lack of subsoil moisture is a concern for farmers in western Minnesota.
DEKALB Asgrow agronomist Steven Regan says drought conditions persisted into the fall.
“And we did not receive much for fall precipitation, so a lot of our tile lines, I’d say most of our tile lines, were not running, and our drainage ditches were dry. So we did go into the winter dry.”
He tells Brownfield with less moisture in the soil profile, the frost is not very hard.
