Harvest moves along in southwest Minnesota with strong yields

Harvest is progressing in southwest Minnesota.

Riley Sandmeyer is an agronomist with New Vision Cooperative, based in Brewster.

“Pretty much all of the beans are taken out. Some growers are still going on corn, working on a lot more of that later corn now. A lot of the early corn is already out, so I’d say for sure 50 to 75 percent on corn.”

He tells Brownfield yields have been a pleasant surprise.

“A lot of the growers seem to be really happy with what the yields are. It’s been a really good year on the yield side, kind of better than what the growers were expecting.”

Sandmeyer says New Vision also has locations in Jeffers and Hills, Minnesota.
