The Weather Steadied and Wheat is Strong

If you’ve read my other blog updates, sorry if I sound like a broken record – but wheat in central North Dakota really looks great. Although May and the first half of June were cold and very wet, the cooler temperatures were great for the wheat crop. We’ll put down some Tilt® fungicide with a herbicide application for some added tan spot protection, just in case.

Temperatures have steadied in the mid-70's and 80's, and hopefully the weather won’t get too hot before a mid-August harvest. Unless any unforeseen disasters happen, we should be able to reap at least 50 bushels per acre this year – not too bad.

It’s been a wild year, but it looks like we’ve fared alright. Another inch or two of moisture would put us in excellent shape for harvest.
