Otter Tail County, MN — West Central Minnesota is known for its abundance of lake homes and the weekend warriors who come to enjoy their summer vacations. It's also home to highly productive farm ground, where corn, soybeans, and edible beans are raised.

But with high potential for big yields comes high risk.

Surrounded by lakes and low-lying, moisture-rich environments, the region experiences consistently high humidity, extended morning fog, and prolonged periods of canopy moisture throughout the growing season. Once soybean canopies close, conditions often become highly favorable for white mold development, making disease management a critical component of protecting yield potential.

We spoke with Jerry Morberg, Owner of Dynamic Cropping Systems in Perham, MN, to discuss how he helps his customers keep white mold at bay and protect crop performance with products like Heads Up® Plant Protectant.
