A crop and livestock farmer in southern Minnesota calls the past month a marathon.
Wanda Patsche and her husband raise corn, soybeans, and hogs in Martin County.
“We started our harvest probably about the last couple days of September, started with harvesting beans. We finished the harvest part on October 17th, then we moved into the second half of harvest, the part where we haul manure and we do tillage.”
She says they’re on the second-to-last field that needs to be tilled and on the last farm for hauling manure.
