Fires could have damaged fertilizer in farm fields
Some farmers in northwest Iowa saw wind driven fires rush across their fields this past weekend. Iowa State University Extension field agronomist Leah Ten Napel says the damage to fields will vary.
There weren’t any crops in the fields, but Ten Napel says there are concerns about the impact on nutrients for upcoming crops.
Ten Napel says early applications could be safe.
Ten Napel says anyone with concerns can call the local ISU Extension office to get their questions answered.
