Based in Stutsman County, NDSU Extension agent Alicia Harstad says there is still a little spring wheat left to harvest in the Jamestown, North Dakota area. “For the most part, we’re more than three-quarters done with wheat harvest. Some farmers are disappointed with the average to below average yields,” she says. “We’re also struggling with quality. That’s a theme with wheat harvest.” Harstad expects the wheat quality to continue to deteriorate the longer the wheat is in the field. “It seems like later harvested wheat has issues with falling numbers and vomitoxin. Even the later stuff may have worse falling numbers.”
