COGSWELL, N.D. — Usually the combines are parked for the winter this time of year on the Bosse Farm as the crop is usually out by Nov. 1. However, they are still trying to get at 600 more acres of corn. "I love farming, but it makes it harder to love it with the conditions we have had this week," said Bruce Bosse. The Bosse family has been farming for 50 years in Sargent County, and can't remember a harvest this miserable with the wet fall and now several days of sub-zero temperatures. The big machinery is constantly freezing. "It seems like we have spent more time fixing things then combining," commented Jason Bosse.
