Spring Planting report

Farmers in Richland County have taken advantage of the recent superb weather conditions and have planted a majority of their spring crops.

As of yet, I have not seen or heard of any major problems affecting stand establishment. I have noticed a good "crop" of dandelions in fields while doing "windshield surveys". Although dandelions are certainly not the only weed species that we have to deal with, they are fairly pesky and persistent. For a great article on dandelion control, I would encourage you to visit the NDSU crop and pest report for this week.
