Storms Affect Minnesota Farming As Dry Stretch Ends
Last week's storms ended Minnesota's longest stretch of dry weather this summer, and it's having an impact on Minnesota agriculture. In its weekly crop weather report for the state, the U.S. Department of Agriculture says topsoil moisture supplies are rated 31 surplus, up from 21 percent the previous week. A statewide average of 3.8 days were suitable for fieldwork.
