  Milk now sells for below the cost of production, which for Minnesota dairy farmers has hovered between $12.77 and $15.74 per hundredweight, according to FINBIN, a University of Minnesota agriculture economics database.
  
  Those prices look even worse compared with what preceded them. The average price paid to farmers was $18.04 per hundredweight in 2007; in 2008 it was $17.44, according to Broadwater.
  
  "Those two years were the highest average price since, well, forever," he said.

  Crops are doing better now than two weeks ago , according to Winona County extension educator Neil Broadwater.Until then , weather conditions had given rise to some of the worst field crops I have seen in 20 years. This week , Broadwater said a period of drier , warmer weather has improved his outlook , though some residual problems exist.
  
  Broadwater said that the period of April 1 through May 15 saw one and three-quarter inches short of normal rainfall.This scenario , in conjunction with dry conditions last fall and winter , meant very , very dry topsoil and subsoil , according to Broadwater.
  
  After May 15 , Winona County has seen four and three-quarter inches of rain above normal.There were four , five , six , seven inches of rain on some farms two to three weeks after planting , Broadwater said of the change in weather.He said corn plants had not yet grown enough to form a canopy that would have prevented erosion and crop damage.Now , there's erosion even on good tillage farms , Broadwater said.
  
  The sick-looking fields have changed for the better over the past two weeks , he said.Now we need the rain to hold off for a while longer to give farmers more of a chance to get into the fields..
  
  Farmers in Winona , Buffalo , Trempealeau and Houston counties still face saturated soils in corn and bean fields , which hinders attempts at spraying for weeds.Good weed control is associated with good timing , according to Broadwater , who said farmers have had trouble accessing fields in a timely manner.They have to wait for the fields to dry , he said.Meanwhile , the weeds take over..
  
  Alfalfa is growing well this summer , according to authorities in the four counties surveyed here.
  ...
  Harvesting is the problem. Frequent rains this summer have made it difficult to cut and bale the hay , according to Broadwater.

  Houston County Extension agent Neil Broadwater agreed, "It was my understanding at that time that if Houston County did not support this position then all three counties would not have this position."
  ...
  Hiniker's viewpoint was news to Broadwater who said, "I did not know there would be an alternative to the all or nothing 1/3 time position.
  ...
  Broadwater feels the county should make its decision on the ag tech based on what they want for their county and not on what other counties are doing.
