Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is concerned about the state of the farm economy.

“It’s always the uncertainty, commodity prices are not great where they need to be. And I think we’re trying to see the trade deals settle out.”

Speaking to Brownfield at the Minnesota State Fair Friday, Walz said farmers in the state are poised to harvest a large crop.

“But again, I’m most concerned that we make sure our markets stay open (and) that we have a place to sell (for) these folks.”

He says farmers are resilient while acknowledging this is a difficult time for agriculture.
