A farmer in west-central Minnesota is concerned prolonged dryness will limit yield potential.

Joe Serbus of Bird Island grows corn, soybeans, and canning crops and says he’s only received about an inch of rain since April.

“They come in little blocks of a quarter-inch, and surprisingly the crops still look good. (but) We might have lost the top-end yield on soybeans (and) corn.”

He tells Brownfield recent rains have missed his farm.
