Harvest- We have had another great week of harvest. Crops are continuing to come off as quickly as possible. With the excellent grain prices, most people are not too concerned with storing grain and are taking their crops to the elevators as fast as they will let them.
Sugarbeets- Beet harvest continues to run fairly smoothly as well. Just like last week there have been days where harvest had to be halted due to warm temperatures but, for the most part beet harvest is running smooth and I would guess that we are over the half way point at this time.
Planting- There are still some folks who are getting their winter wheat seeded. According to the Montana National Ag Statistics Service, (http://www.nass.usda.gov/mt) winter wheat planting is about 88% completed in our region. For those who got their wheat in early, conditions have been just about ideal for emergence and establishment and it does not look like this trend will end anytime soon.
Weather-Cold(er) overnight lows followed by days in the 60's and 70's have been about the norm. Most of the county did receive measurable rain on Friday night/Saturday morning and another shot Monday night/Tuesday morning. The rain that fell certainly helped to get winter wheat up and going but was not enough to be too much of a burden on harvest and planting.
