Extension specialist 0 M Olson of the University of Minnesota Farm discusses harrow and weeder use on corn in early growth. He notes potential yield gains from multiple cultivations but warns of plant destruction and stand injury, stressing that even stands are crucial for a good harvest.
The Division of Agricultural Extension reports almost all regions say cattle are not fed long enough for good prices. Minnesota farms lose value as finished cattle are sold to feeders in other states and shipped to packers, while margins favor buyers. This drag reduces fertility value and farm profits as roughage and grain are used elsewhere.
