Soil health connected to underground caves in Minnesota

Crop prices are poor, profit margins are tight and much of the Upper Midwest suffered through horrible harvest conditions in the fall of 2019. Some farmers were forced to leave 60% to 80% of their corn in the field, like this field show Jan. 14 near Hazelton, N.D. But rental rates aren't expected to go down except in very specific situations. Mikkel Pates / Forum News Service

Looking up: 2020 market outlook more optimistic for grain, livestock

Plants like Kernza® perennial grain are helpful for the environment because they grow back year after year. This means that the roots grow deep, and result in a smaller footprint on the environment than annuals. This is due to requiring less water, a reduction in fuel used to till and plant beds annually and the roots are able to capture more of the chemicals sprayed on crops and the area.
