An agronomist says the dry growing season has forced plants to develop stronger roots.  Trevor Knutson with Dairyland Seed tells Brownfield the lack of surface moisture has plants going deep for water. “We had a dry spring, and we were able to develop some roots in some corn, soybeans, and that it’s my feeling that is what’s got us through this dry spell.”

Knutson says the forecast is not looking good for the vital pollination period to get pods and ears filled.
