With a big tip of the hat to mother nature, our farmers are rapidly wrapping up the 2012 spring planting season. All in all, spring weather conditions have not been too horrible. We did start of a little on the dry side but timely rains lately should give our crops a good start.
Now we move from planting season to scouting season. It is imperative to get out into your fields and check on growing conditions, pest problems, etc....
Here is a link to a great site for our small grain growers. It takes into account the grain's growing stage and weather conditions to predict whether or not we should be concerned with fusarium head blight.
Another invaluable resource is the North Dakota Crop and Pest Report. It is a weekly newsletter offering tips on what producers should be on the lookout for.
Now let's just hope that the rest of the growing season is a good one.
