Goodhue County farmers discuss stress in tough times

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.
