Richland County Harvest/Weather Report for the week of August 28

Weather- We have experienced just about every kind of weather (except snow, thank goodness) possible this week. The week started out on the hot and somewhat humid side, then the middle of the week brought thunderstorms and some high winds (no tornadoes though), and now the end of the week looks like much cooler temperatures with highs in the 60's-70's and lows in the mid-to-high 40's.

Harvest- Harvest continues to progress fairly well. Winter wheat is all but harvested and durum as well. I still have only heard reports from a few producers but one of those reports was that the dryland durum crop around Fairview averaged around 33 bu. and graded really well.
