Factors weighing in against a good corn crop for 2013

By Jon Pike For the INDY hile North Dakotans may be enjoying the bout of warm weather and the lack of rain here in the waning days of summer, those are conditions that have area corn growers concerned and anxiously waiting on developments in the weather. While corn may do well in warm weather it is also a very water intensive crop and requires a lot more rain than we are currently getting. The extension agent for Barnes County, Randy Gruenich, said that farmers that hes talking to are looking for three things to happen with this years corn crop, which got off to a late start to begin with because of the spring weather and the wetness of the ground and the coldness of the temperatures. Those factors that they need to hope for include hot weather, which the corn needs and could be getting with the hot August weather. But, corn is also a water intensive crop and the weather is not helping out the farmers in that regard. A few places got some rain, but a lot didnt. The places where its the most serious are the place with the lighter soils. Gruenich added that the farms that have more clay in their soil retained more water and are doing better with their corn crop. Gruenich said that, Were seeing some severe damage

in the places with the lighter soil. Some of those places farmers crop. have little chance of recovery and will see little yields, or Theres another problem with low weight corn. A lot no yields. A lot depends on the type of soil that the indiof North Dakotas corn goes to the West Coast and from vidual farms have. there to the overseas market. The He said that one thing that did problem is, said Gruenich, If we get If we get fifty, fifty one, fifty go right this year was that they fifty, fifty one, fifty pound per bushel had favorable weather during corn, then they dont fill up barges and pound per bushel corn, then pollination. He said that if poltrain cars and the transportation costs lination didnt go well, then there go up. So, increased transportation they dont fill up barges and would not be enough kernels in costs for the overseas and West Coast the cobs. Gruenich said they can get by train cars and the transportation markets. But if they get the warm with is about 53 pounds per bushel. weather that they need along with Right now, there are just a lot of costs go up. the rain, then they also need a things that have to go right in order - Randy Gruenich for the North Dakota corn crop to be a late frost. So, the corn farmer is the Sheyenne Valley right now good one for the farmers this year. needs a lot of things to go right in The price of corn could be up this order for them to have a good crop. year, generally speaking in the U.S. Much of the country Whats crucial, right now, said Gruenich, is the weight is experiencing many of the same weather conditions of the corn. U.S. Bushel weight for corn is set at 56 pounds that the North Dakota farmers are experiencing. That per bushel. Weight is an indicator of the maturity of the includes hot weather and below average precipitation s corn.

So, we may end up harvest of the corn that will be at its full weight and be seeing higher prices for corn as a result of what may go on ready to ship.

Tiny ticks can carry Lyme disease

By Theresa Will, R.N. City-County Health District

Jamestown College is now University of Jamestown

or the most part, wood ticks (or American dog ticks) are relatively harmless, even though the mere thought of them causes many of us to start scratching. However, ticks do carry two diseases Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever, both of them relatively rare in our area. Lyme disease is not carried by the American dog tick, the tick with which we are most familiar. It is carried by the deer tick, a smaller tick species. The deer ticks that transmit Lyme disease become infected when the tick feeds on infected field mice. People who spend time outdoors in tick-infested environments are at an increased risk of becoming infected.

Most cases have been reported during the months of May through August, but cases have been reported during every month of the year. Lyme disease cases rise during the summer months and often start as a roughly circular reddish rash around or near the site of the tick bite. The rash expands in size over a period of days or weeks. During the rash stage, or occasionally prior to the rash, other symptoms such as fever, headache, fatigue, stiff neck, muscle and/ or joint pain may be present. These symptoms may last for several weeks. If left untreated, within a few weeks to months after the rash appears, complications such as meningitis, paralysis of facial muscles or heart problems may occur. Swelling and pain in the large joints may recur over several months or years. Not everyone with

A world without tomatoes is like a string quartet without violins, according to the writer Laurie Colwin. Of course she was talking about backyard garden and farmers market tomatoes--all those luscious local tomatoes that provide a bright symphony of flavors. And now is the time to seek out every theme and variation on tomatoes: hybrids, heirlooms, cherry, pear, plum, even the diminutive currant tomatoes. The rainbow names of the heirlooms are enough to set your mouth watering: Sun Gold, Green Zebra, Pink Accordion, Prudens Purple, Striped Roman, Purple Calabash, Orange Oxheart, Black Trifele, Great White, and the ever-popular Brandywines(pink, red, and yellow) - to name just a few.

Besides, its probably not necessary to know if we have 500,000 sharptails or 612,576. For effective wildlife manageBy ment, however, it is Doug Leier important to know some things about populations. Instead of an actual count, wildlife surveys typically provide a population index. For instance, the spring mule deer index is mule deer per square mile surveyed. The pheasant brood index is broods per mile of survey route. One fish population index is fish per net hour. An index is a statistically accepted method as long as the survey is similar from year to year. Thats why the spring pheasant crowing count, for example, takes place during the same time frame and along the same routes from year to year.

n the last column I reported on my visit to Wadeson Park and the Walker Dam area in the company of Jay Cink, owner and operator of the Duck Inn in Marion. The next destination on our history tour was the site of Olsbergs Public School. From the dam area we backtracked about a mile and took a left up the hill at the By Dennis Stillings street sign, 51st St & 119th Ave SE. Soon the road entered a lovely canopied glade. After a few hundred yards we came to the site of Olsbergs

Lost Towns of Barnes County: Olesberg

Public School monument just off the road on the left (46 39 57 N; 97 57 10 W). A fine stone monument, with two engraved metal plaques listing the names of the teachers, school board, and students who worked and studied there, now stands in place of the original building The area is well groomed, with a park bench in excellent condition on which to rest and meditate in the woodland silence. The school building, originally built out of commercial lumber, is gone from the site. It was moved to Kathryn in 1904 where it still stands next to the St. Pauls Lutheran parsonage covered in bright yellow siding. Olsbergs Public School, District No. 31, Oakville Township, served the community from 1883 to 1904. At first I thought it had been an ordinary country school sitting by itself in an open landscape. Well, it turns out that this wasnt quite the case After our tour, Jay and I took refreshment at the Sheyenne Saloon, Jay ordering the excellent French fries and a soft drink, while I indulged in the most delicate deep-fried chicken gizzards and a beer. A few days later I revisited the area, stopping in Kathryn to discuss local history with Charlie Olsberg, a rich

Its hopper time for fisherman too... W

hile walking along the stream near my house, one thing was clear; this summer was extremely kind to the grasshoppers. Not only are they an increased scourge in area gardens and a valued food source for developing upland game birds, grasshoppers this time of year are also a prime target to the fish in all waters, including the small flow now reduced to a trickle by the onset of late summer heat. While grassy-banked trout streams and lazy backwaters are prime areas for using grasshopper-based lures for fishing, just about any water on a windy day is a perfect place to try out such an offering. A strong breeze often signals to fish that it is feeding time in late summer. Wayward hoppers jump and are carried away by the gusts, forced to kick their way back to shore along the surface. Oftentimes, it is a long surface swim subject to the rises of hungry fish. On one occasion, I watched as cattle patrolled the edge of a small farm pond, causing waves of hoppers to splash down onto the waters surface. Both By Nick bluegills and bass rose Simonson with zeal for the easy meals. Luckily I had a hopper imitator and the fishing was intense until the last members of the herd wandered on by. A longtime favorite lure of mine has been Rebels Crickhopper. In a variety of colors and two sizes, this little gem is a spot-on replica of the real thing and can be fished on light or medium-light gear with up to sixpound test line. When cast in a way that makes it smack the surface with a resounding SPLAT, allowed to sit for a bit and then retrieved in a slow twitching pattern, it mimics a kicking hopper perfectly. It doesnt take long and hungry fish are upon it. Ive caught monster bluegills, smallmouth and largemouth bass with this simple presentation on these dynamic lures. When I made the transition to the long rod, some of the earliest patterns I tied up were those that mimicked grasshoppers. From the deer-hair Madame X to a number of foam hopper patterns, I stocked several slots in my box with patterns that I knew would trigger bites just like the Crickhopper. I found that trout reacted to these patterns in a fashion similar to the bluegills on that little pasture pond. Casting them up toward a grassy bank and slapping them on the surface was like ringing a dinner bell. If the fish didnt rise right away, a few quick strips giving the fly some action in the water often did. There are many materials that make effective hopper flies. Dyed deer hair

Even better than the real thing. A Rebel Crickhopper, a foam hopper fly and the real deal, a green-patterned grasshopper.

Stuck in a state of perpetual adolescence and a destructive cycle of drug use, middle-aged Gary King (Simon Pegg) reminisces of the good old days when he was a teenager. Life never was as good as it was on a fateful summer night in 1990, when Gary and his five best friends attempted an epic pub crawl to 12 establishments in their hometown of Newton Haven. Alas, this Golden Mile, strewn with foaming pints and the carefree abandon of youth, was never completed.

Stomping the kraut is a family affair with Kristi, Clara, Llo and Louis Wieland. The shredded cabbage is bruised an packed using a homemade wooden tool that has a flat h on it, or mostly the crew uses fists and flat hands to pres down. This process removes the water.

The first few drinks prove uneventful, but soon the friends realize that the people in the quiet English town are behaving strangely. They dont remember Garys gang, they sometimes stare creepily as the friends walk on the sidewalk, and their limbs prove removable, revealing a blue, ink-like substance. The townspeople have been replaced by robots (dubbed Blanks by the main characters), but Gary insists that if they finish the Golden Mile like nothing is wrong, they can avoid detection and sidestep getting turned into Blanks themselves. Only eight pints to go.

The writers ofThe Worlds Endtook a chance when they wrote Gary King as a main characterhes a thoroughly selfish, unlikable man who is equal parts annoying, smarmy, and charismatic. Simon Pegg pulls off the role marvelously, giving one of his most nuanced performances to date. Garys character is tolerable only because he plays off his ensemble flawlessly. The entire cast cranks out wonderful performances with just the right balance between gratuitously over-the-top and subtle. Although the ensemble is quite large, the characters reactions, interactions, and relationships with one another elevate this

It is put to rest in dark cool places in the days leading up to the day before the annual dinner. Then, the cabbageturned-sour is seasoned and cooked to perfection. Traditions like these dont come easy. The first recorded St. Marys Fall Supper happened in 1949, and except for a brief intermission in 1973 for remodeling, the supper continues to be a popular event. Jim Wheeland gave insight to the original dinners he attended ever since he could remember.

kraut for St. Marys feed

He said, We used to have to carry our own water for the washing and for coffee. A testament to how things have changed over the last 65 years. In the beginning, fried chicken was the main entre. Chickens had been raised and cooked by the community members and the dinner was more of a potluck for the people who brought their own meals. The idea of gathering the church community socially has slowly built to a fund raiser to keep the parish alive. Sales from the dinner helped pay for a new stage in the church. Cabbage shredders and stompers explained about the varied crowd attending the supper. To-go orders were placed by wives whose husband were out combining. During election year the supper becomes a stomping ground for hopeful politicians. Muriel Wheeland said, People who were born and raised here always like to come back. A new and fun addition to the supper has been themed decorations.

VALLEY CITY BARNES COUNTY LIBRARY NOTES

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Ahhh technology, the great time eater

by Steve Hammel

ello Barnes County. My column is a bit shorter this week. I have spent a lot of time this week acting as our IT department. We received four refurbished computers from a local engineering company. Normally we dont accept used computers however since these were designed for commercial use and used for computer

aided design they have a lot more power and durability than the average home computer. We needed to make a couple immediate upgrades to staff computers and since it will be several months before we will be (hopefully) receiving money from a state technology grant I took the gift. Hooking them up and configuring them to the network chewed up a lot of time. Its part of the job but rather satisfying when I can get things to work like

Note: I wrote adjustments instead of changes. Valley City Yes, its semantics but thats my story read your article in the Independent, a local Valley and Im sticking with it. The biggest City paper entitled, Is the Christian Church Failing Its difference is we are doing away with Mission No Longer Relying on the Bible. Your article the week grace period. Patrons and was very nasty and degrading towards Christians in genstaff found it confusing which is not eral and their beliefs. How would you possibly know what LIBRARY: 21 the majority of Christians feel impossible? By taking a small Gallup poll? Although you have your opinions, so do I. Who are you to say Christians no longer rely on the Bible. You also said 77 percent of Americans claim to be Christians but basically are hypocrites. There may be 77 percent of people who claim to be Christians but what you said afterwards was very appalling and upsetting to me. You said that Christians found the following to be morally acceptable behavior (in your own words): homosexuality, lesbianism, abortion, divorce, gambling having children out of marriage and having sex between unmarried adults and unmarried women having children. These things do happen but it is still morally unacceptable according to the church. Some bad apples spoil the bushel for all of us such as with the pedophile priests, etc. But it is not just in the Catholic church. Other faiths have had their share of problems too. It doesnt mean all Catholics and Christians are that way. Sounds like you are atheistic in your way with words and you, yourself, lack morality by judging Christians this way. There is a decline of family structure due to all of the issues stated above. There is a lack of respect and tolerance of others, lack of traditional marriage values, lack of faith, younger people not going to church and taking their religion seriously and money and greed are also problems with society. A lot of societys problems are due to these things. I dont believe Christians (in your own words) need to spend more time correcting their own moral values and less time condemning the rest of society. If Christians are bringing their views to point on these issues, it is because of their true moral beliefs against these negative things such as what was discussed earlier. I find it hard to grasp that our government and Congress can actually demoralize society by allowing abortion, homosexuality, lesbianism, and revamping traditional marriage, and other bad things to be legal when our country was founded on the basic principles of God, religion and kind acts towards our brethren. Christians are not (in your own words), judging those outside the church. Everyone has their own beliefs but it is not just Christians doing the judging; obviously you have too. If you can take the time, read Leviticus, Chapter 18, of 721 W. MAIN, VALLEY CITY, ND the Bible which talks about homosexuality being an

OPINION: ROB PORT

OPINION: OMDAHL

The right to refuse service Minnesota Twins end W their season early S
eve all seen those signs in restaurants and stores. We reserve the right to refuse service. That statement has interesting implications in light of a state court ruling in New Mexico where judges have found that a photography company broke the states human rights laws by refusing to provide services at a gay wedding. Writing in concurrence with the opinion, state Supreme Court Justice By Rob Richard C. Bosson wrote Port the case provokes reflection on what this nation is all about, its promise of fairness, liberty, equality of opportunity, and justice. In addition, Bosson claimed the case teaches that at some point in our lives all of us must compromise, if only a little, to accommodate the contrasting values of others. A multicultural, pluralistic society, one of our nations strengths, demands no less. This is a strange thing for a judge to write while upholding a law that, specifically, does not accommodate contrasting views on homosexuality. Under this courts ruling, individuals and business owners are required to provide others with their labor and/or products even when they might find it immoral. That is most certainly a compromise, though not the sort the judge wrote of. Rather, it is a compromise of our liberty. There are a lot of reasons to refuse service. Most of us would agree that refusing to serve an unruly or rude customer is ok. Laws actually provide criminal consequences for establishments who continue to serve alcohol to people who are inebriated. But refusing service to someone because of their skin color? Or religion? Or sexual orientation? Most of us would object to those sort of policies. Heres the question, though: Regardless of whether or not we agree with the reason for refusing service, should a business or individual be required to provide that service if they dont want to? If the law mandates that one person use their skills or labor in service of another even in instances where that person refuses, is that not a form of slavery? Im afraid that it is, and Im worried what this precedent portends for future legal questions. Are banks to be required to give loans even when the borrower doesnt qualify? Some might argue weve done something similar in the areas of student loans and mortgages. This reminds me of comments Senator Rand Paul made during a committee hearing regarding some aspect of Obamacare back in 2011. Someone testifying before the committee talked about the supposed right to health care. With regard to the idea whether or not you have a right to health care you have to realize what that implies, he said. I am a physician. You have a right to come to my house and conscript me. It means you believe in slavery. You are going to enslave not only me but the janitor at my hospital, the person who cleans my office, the assistants, the nurses. You are basically saying you believe in slavery. I dont think anyone has the right to demand the unwilling services of someone else, even when that unwillingness is born of attitudes or beliefs we find objectionable. I would criticize those refusing service because of reasons like sexual orientation or skin color. I would deny them my business, and implore others to do likewise. But use the law to compel their unwilling service?

Raymond wonders is America going to pot?

If we examine the history of man adequately, we would know that he has been getting high, higher, and dead on fermented stuff and weird weeds for several million years. I have always thought the War on Drugs was started by elder members of a clan because they had experienced the hallucinatory effects of fermented corn, barley, green leaves, and red poppies. And they realized how much fun it was to get bombed and binged out of their skulls. By Ed Im sure early cave people discovered the Raymond rhapsodies of stuff once forgotten and fermented in the back of the cave. One of my favorite writers, Lewis Lapham, who spent decades gracing and grazing the pages of Harpers Magazine, summarized booze and drugs beautifully in his 2012 essay Intoxication. Fourteen centuries before Jesus Christ intoxicated a wedding crowd by turning jugs of water into wine, Hindu priests in India mumbled their incantations through lips somewhat numbed by soma. Soma was probably made from marijuana plants whose magic elixir was distilled through sheeps wool. Priests said the wise and wisdom-loving plant makes us see far, makes us richer, better. Greek philosophers met for discussions at symposiums,a word that means drinking together. The Roman politician-philosopher Seneca, around the time that Jesus was doing his wedding bit, recommended that Romans endorse Bacchus, the god of wine, because wine liberated the mind from its slavery to cares, emancipates it, invigorates, and emboldens it for all its undertakings. I will predict the Womens Christian Temperance Union will never put Budweiser, Jack Daniels and Mexican pot and poppy growers out of business I think the American philosopher Henry David Thoreau captured in one sentence the essence of man, driving the bunghole out of the whiskey, wine, and beer barrel, when he wrote: Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them. Not only do we want to bury our dark side, we want to burn bright in the sun, we want to accomplish Nirvana and experience earthly paradise.We want to sing. We cant do it bolting wheels on cars, serving burgers, reconciling account ledgers, or even playing in punk rock bands. We seem to need MORE. And some of us think booze and drugs will get us over the hump. I tended bar for two years while working on another education degree. I have always considered it a very valuable experience. Worth at least a psychology degree. I served scads of people who wanted MORE. Dr. Samuel Johnson, the old dictionary guy, said he only needed wine when he was alone because he did it To get rid of myself to send myself away. By the way, he often sent himself away when he was in the company of other drinkers. The French poet Baudelaire put it bluntly: One should always be drunk. Thats the great thing, the only question. Drunk with what? With wine, with poetry, or with virtue, good thing. We cant expect a reversal of human nature, as you please. which is Gods decree and never can be reversed.

DID YOU KNOW?

VIEW FROM THE STAGE

Box car and engine collide No sick days for musicians

look back at early area history as found in the archives of the Enderlin Historical Society and Museum. Museum website: www.enderlinmuseum. org This week we will look at a couple of short articles found in the December 31, 1914 issue of The Enderlin Independent. ************ BOX CAR AND ENGINE COLLIDE -----------Tuesday morning as the switch engine was working in the local yards with Engineer John Douglas and Fireman A. P. Murphy in the cab, they met with an accident that caused painful injuries to the latter. They were backing the engine and, on looking back, Mr. Murphy saw that they would strike the corner of a box car which had been shunted onto another track. He had just time to yell dynamite when they struck. The collision tore the firemans side of the cab off and a rod from the top of the cab struck the fireman on the top of the head making an ugly wound that will lay him up for a few days. He was taken to Strongs hospital, where it was found necessary to take several stitches to close up the cut. Mr. Murphy is

fortunate that the hurt was no more serious. It might easily have been worse. ****************** A PAIR OF BLOOD HOUNDS ---------------Chief of Police Crockett is the proudest man in town.

at sunrise and the next year they all started their routes at noon, the results would not be comparable. Conducting surveys and compiling their related indexes is a science, but that doesnt mean that all hunters will experience season results that are in line with survey results. After all the numbers are crunched, wildlife populations still may vary depending on locale and species. Take the spring crowing counts for pheasants. The statewide index, which includes the average of all survey routes, decreased 11percent from 2012. That doesnt mean pheasant hunters will shoot 11 percent fewer roosters this fall. Game and Fishs summer brood survey that looks at upland game production is still in progress through August so those results are not yet known. Remember that any statewide index is an average. The big picture will also contain many other small areas where local weather conditions or habitat changes will yield a bird population some lower, some higher that is not in line with statewide

the independent 08.30.13 ND OUTDOORS: from 8 predictions.

Waterfowl projections Based on statistics from the Game and Fish Departments recently completed summer duck brood survey, plus results from the spring breeding duck survey, North Dakota biologists estimate a significantly lower fall flight from the state in 2013, but the number of ducks raised in North Dakota and heading south this fall will still be above the long-term average. There may be other ducks nesting elsewhere that will migrate through North Dakota, to make up for fewer birds produced in North Dakota this year. Biological surveys give us a pretty good idea of what to expect, and overall, North Dakota hunters can look forward to a good fall. But individual success, as always, depends on when and where and the amount of effort invested. The only way to find out is to take to the field in the coming months, and for most of us, thats a sure thing. Leier is a biologist for the Game and Fish Department.

If I had to pick something I dislike about the movie, it would be the fight sequences between the humans and the Blanks, which exhibited a frantic energy but dragged out just a little too long for my taste.The Worlds Endcan work as a standalone film, but I thought that my experience would have been diminished if I had not seen the first two movies in the very loosely tied Cornetto Trilogy. It is a trilogy in a sense that each film builds on the experience instead of extending a specific

is not for everyone and some of the ways the filmmakers choose to execute the story may seem strange or off-putting to those uninitiated to director Edgar Wrights style. As with the previous Cornetto movies,The Worlds Enddoes something Hollywood finds difficulty in: it offers an original script with interesting characters that had me in stitches throughout. Its a consistently funny film with sharp, quickly spouted dialogue. For fans of Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, this wonderfully weird finale is a must-see.

Some people are just sad when there arent talking squirrels. Lily Winter - Richard Due, The Moon Coin

When I played American Legion baseball, the pitcher stayed in for the whole game. There was no bullpen. There was no pitch count. Of course, the batters were usually swinging at everything that came close to the plate so the count for a 7-inning game never got over 40. A major problem for the Twins is the revolving door. Except for Joe Mauer and Justin Morneau, the whole team changes every season. So its new faces and Ruth keeps asking: Is he on our side or theirs? Sometimes, were not sure. Neither is Manager Gardy. They keep giving away their best players. Look at Torii Hunter, for instance. Where is Torii today? Hes playing with the Detroit Tigers at the top of the Central Division. He can hardly see the Twins way down there in the cellar. Every player theyve traded is a star on some other team. The real question is whether management is in the baseball business or in human trafficking. When they get a good a good way of going about things. Instead we are going to a system similar to other libraries across the county. I think the new setup will be much easier for patrons to remember. The new policy is as follows: Most items check out for 4 weeks with 20 item checkout limit. New books, bestsellers, and periodicals will continue to checkout for 2 weeks. There is a 5 item limit for new books and bestsellers and a 10 item limit for periodicals. You still will not be allowed to checkout the most recent issue of a magazine. Late items are $ .10 per day with a maximum fine per item of $2.00. You can renew all the above items one time. DVDs checkout for 7 days. No renewals. Limit of 3 items. Late DVDs are a $1 per day with a maximum fine per item of $5.00. Reference books circulate with staff permission on a 3 day checkout. Late fees are $5 per day with a maximum fine per item of $25. The simple summary: DVDs checkout for 1 week. New books, best sellers, and magazines checkout for 2 weeks. Everything else; including childrens, young adult, and audio books, checkout for 4 weeks. Most importantly, if you bring things back on time you never have to worry about the fines. I hope you will agree that this is much easier to remember. If you have any questions about the future of the library, or ideas for programs please feel free to call or stop in and talk with me. My door is always open, unless its closed.

offer, they trade their stars for cash plus three minor league players in 2015. Mauer, a home town St. Paul guy, will be put to the test when the Yankees offer him double his present salary like maybe $45 million as compared to his present salary of $23 million. Hes got a perfect excuse for leaving - a wife and two kids to feed. Nobody plays for community pride. Not only is the head office ruthless in their trading but the players also dash off at the first offer of more bucks. Its the folks in the bleachers who are the victims of this sport. Looking at next year, maybe management will find it profitable to put Gardy on first, Joe Vavra on second, Ron Coomer on third and Rick Anderson on the mound. By the end of the season, they may be 80 games behind the division leader but it doesnt make any difference whether you are 80 games or 18 games out of first. You are out of the game in either case. Everybody would feel better if they passed that bucket of bubble gum around to the fans. in yellow, or green and tying some in natural beige makes a great base, as does two millimeter foam in the same hopper colors that occur in nature.

Also, other corn farmers around the country are going to have the same issues with low weight corn that the farmers in North Dakota and in the rest of the country are facing with this years corn crop. It may be a year that corn farmers would rather forget, except for the fact that they still have to get through it and see what they rest of the year brings. So, the fate of this years is dependent on a number of factors. When the late start due to the cold temperatures and dampness pushed the planting back, a drought settled in and that took concern away from the late start. Right now, the corn farmers are waiting for rain and hoping that they had the right type of soil to retain what water the area got. Then, they need a late frost. Even for farmers, that may be a lot to have to wait on.
