Erin Stackhouse, a Minnesota farmer and agronomist, says every bag of corn seed has the potential to achieve 700 bushels at harvest. An important part of her job is to provide for and protect that potential. A common threat to the health and potential of her corn are harmful insects – the northern corn rootworm.
Lauren’s family knows how to keep a good thing going. Their annual tradition, “Corn Day”, is a quest for peak sweet corn flavor, family togetherness and making a summer harvest last the whole year long.
Kristie Swenson, a farmer from Jackson MN, tried a new thing during harvest 2023: She drove her family’s combine through 1,800 acres of corn and soybeans.
