The hot, dry, windy weather many growers are dealing with this season may be tough on crops, but many weeds thrive in it. In this week's episode, Mikkel Pates talked to a crop consultant about the problem.
Mikkel also covers a story about the increase in cattle numbers livestock auction barns are seeing in recent weeks in response to the continuing drought.
We also visit with Harrison Weber of the Red River Valley Sugarbeet Growers Association to see how beets are fairing during the dry growing season.
