Good harvest and high prices to boost farmers

Minnesota farmers are watching grain prices soar as they push to finish the fall harvest. Corn prices alone rose for the fourth day in a row yesterday and are up 21 percent since last week. The rally started after the size of the nation's corn harvest was scaled back.

MPR's Cathy Wurzer spoke with Minnesota Public Radio News reporter Mark Steil who talked about that and other news in southwestern Minnesota from our Worthington bureau.
