It’s been a wet end to summer and temperatures are remaining unseasonably cool. This combination has put spring wheat harvest behind the average pace. For some of the wheat, rain over Labor Day weekend meant, yet again, another harvest delay. Minnesota Association of Wheat Growers Executive Director Charlie Vogel says another heavy rain on the wheat is dropping already low falling numbers. “Get your wheat tested by the field, know what your falling numbers are and keep it separate,” says Vogel. “I’ve been hearing falling numbers in the 80s, and there is a formula for that with insurance.”
