As of Friday, Crystal, North Dakota farmer Brian O’Toole had about 15 percent of his wheat seeded. At this point, O’Toole has been able to get into the fields that were in sugarbeets or potatoes last year. “The fields that I’ve been in so far, I haven’t had any trouble with them,” said O’Toole. “I’m thinking their are some underlying problems coming in the future, but for now frost is still in some of the ground and that supports our equipment in the lighter areas.” For his seed business, O’Toole is still seeing a lot of indecision. While most growers are sticking to their normal crop rotation, O’Toole has had some seed corn returned and he’s fielding more calls about wheat seed.
