Minnesota farmers spent last week focused on first crop hay cutting, fertilizer application, and even some replanting. USDA reporters say most planting is done, and crops have emerged.
Eighty-one percent of the corn, 81% of soybeans, 87% of spring wheat, and 92% of oats have emerged.
Hay cutting is 14% completed for the first crop, and USDA reporters say pastures are also growing with 40% in fair, 41% good, and 3% in excellent condition.
