Naig optimistic for the fall harvest

INTERVIEW: Iowa Ag Secretary Mike Naig

Iowa’s Ag Secretary says the El Nino weather pattern is giving farmers some optimism heading into fall.

Mike Naig tells Brownfield the gradual transition to El Nino brought much-needed relief this month.

“We were dry in June,” he said. “First part of July got some more widespread rain, then it dried off, and then got hot again. We’ve now started to see a more active weather pattern.
