Brisk harvest pace in northwest Minnesota

Harvest is advancing quickly in northwest Minnesota.

Blair Hoseth of Mahnomen tells Brownfield he’s about 90 percent done with soybeans.

“We started (around) Labor Day and we had beans down as low as 9 percent (moisture) on Labor Day, so that was kind of an extreme record for the early side.”

He says yields vary.
