Malting barley harvest is underway for Bismarck, North Dakota farmer Clark Coleman. It’s a slow harvest so far. Barley is yielding around 80 to 90 bushels per acre. “Everyday we get a little bit of rain or high humidity. The barley yield and test weight looks good. Coloring is a little off, but we’re moving forward.” Coleman says recent storms missed their farm by about seven miles. If farmers had barley in that area, they likely lost a bit. “There’s been lots of hail this year.” After barley is harvested, field peas will be ready to harvest.
