Spring 2024 is shaping up to be great year for spring wheat. Middle of April with planting just getting started, interrupted by rain this week.

Time to get geared up for getting everything done for the Wells County Fair in Fessenden June 20 to 23, complete this year with a Carnival.

Harvesting Pintos and Prepping for Spring Wheat Planting

Posted by Bill Ongstad on Oct 3, 2013.

I still can’t believe we were able to wrap up wheat harvest in the month of August, especially considering how late crops went in the ground this year. A slight update from my previous post: We ended up yielding between 60 and 80 bu/A, with SY Soren leading the AgriPro® varieties that we planted. Read more...
