Weather- For some reason, Friday's have not been good for those who are trying to get crops harvested. Late Thursday night and early Friday morning brought showers to the area, nothing heavy or damaging, but just enough to keep the combines out of the field for another day. Up until Friday, however, the weather was ideal.
Harvest- Much of the winter wheat crop and a good portion of the barley that is fit to run has been harvested. I still have not received many reports regarding yield or quality but did talk to one irrigated barley producer in the Yellowstone valley and his assumption was that his barley was yielding around 90-100 bu./acre.
Other crops- Spring wheat is progressing nicely and some of it has probably been harvested but most of it is not quite ready yet. In another week or two most of the spring wheat will be ready. The sugarbeets that got planted and did not get hailed out or flooded out are progressing quite nicely as well. A few planes have been spotted flying on what I am assuming is fungicide sprays.
