An organic row crop farmer in southwest Minnesota has a lot left to plant.

Carolyn Olson and her husband grow corn, soybeans, and small grains near Cottonwood.  She tells Brownfield 350 acres of small grains were planted before a rain event dumped more than six inches of rain in less than a day earlier this month.

“So all of the small grain was planted, and we have about a third small grain, a third corn, and a third of our soybeans, so roughly two-thirds of our crop is left to plant.”

Olson was able to plant about 100 acres of corn Tuesday before rain pushed them back out.
