Farmer continue to struggle with harvest in northeast North Dakota. NDSU Extension Specialist Lesley Lubenow says the wheat quality is deteriorating. “Falling numbers are key. I’ve heard there are a few elevators not accepting wheat anymore,” says Lubenow. “Farmers have to make challenging decisions, like finding alternative storage for their crops once it is harvested.” Canola harvest is also being slowed by wet weather. “The region is inundated with rain. It’s hard to go when it’s wet. The people who swathed canola are having an easier time than those direct combining.”
