A soggy spring forced a southwest Minnesota farmer to work ground he’d normally no-till plant soybeans into.
Bryan Biegler of Lake Wilson tells Brownfield it turned wet in late March and stayed that way through most of May.
“Typically I try to no-till all my beans, and this year they just weren’t drying out very well. So I had to take my vertical till and lightly run across it just to kind of break that top layer loose a little bit, then she dried right out and I was able to get in and plant it.”
The Minnesota Corn Growers Association president also strip tills and says that went well.
