Good rains boost Republic county crops this season
Heavy weeklong rainfall improved corn and wheat prospects across Republic county with 4.5 inches in places washing down shocks and delaying harvest. North of Scandia four miles saw deep water and mud while other towns reported 1.5 to 2.25 inches. Elevator traffic rose as growers rushed to ship wheat and dry storages before further field work resumes. Harvest delays persist but crop condition overall is better than in several years.
