AM: field crop production closed a challenging but successful year

In addition to the weather, the difficulties were exacerbated by interruptions caused by the coronavirus, the secretary of state said, noting that despite these challenges, this year’s results in field crop production were particularly favorable, with a historic “record” for this year’s corn yield.
