June 2019 -- it is shaping up to be a great spring wheat year. Wheat is a cool season grass, and this year is a cool season so far. It is raining this morning as I write this. Rain makes grain and we needed rains. It is Wells County Fair Week traditionally a rainy event. Let us hope it stays in liquid form. Check out Wells County Fair on Facebook.
The year started in late April, and field work progressed all through May and into June. We in the northern plains have not suffered wetness like farther south.
Our Valda and Ingmar look great in the field and are pushing flag leaf now. Fields are thick and dark green and looking good. Spraying went well with drier fields. Weed pressure normal for the most part. Soon it's fungicide time.
Seedsmen planted two new AgriPro varieties: SYLongmire and SYMcCloud. They are looking very good, too. Seed will be available for 2020 planting.
Well, it is off to the Wells County Fair! Bull-a-Rama tonight! 4-H livestock tomorrow (Friday), Truck Pull Saturday, and Fessenden FFA Alumni Demo Derby on Sunday. And much, much more.
