In April, we visited with Dan Kristensen, a farmer near Minden, Nebraska, who was looking forward to a promising growing season.
Fast forward to July, and hail has wiped out thousands of acres of crops. In this week's edition of Fridays in the Field, we catch up with Dan to see how he's coping after the storm damage.
Dan shares his experiences of the devastating hailstorm that hit his corn and soybean fields, leaving him with significant losses.
Watch as he describes the extent of the damage, the size of the hail, and his plans moving forward. Despite the setbacks, Dan remains optimistic and discusses how he plans to manage the crops that were not affected by the storm.
