Cool, wet conditions have delayed some spring wheat planting progress and emergence across the Northern Plains. In the central part of North Dakota, farmers may not get as much seeded. In Minnesota, farmers still have a few more acres to seed, mostly in the northern part of the state. “I think most of the wheat acres will get in, but it’s not all going to get done near East Grand Forks. There will likely be some prevent plant,” said Charlie Vogel, executive director, Minnesota Wheat. “When this all shakes out, I think we’ll be close to the 2019 numbers as far as acres produced.” South Dakota is mostly wrapped up with spring wheat planting. South Dakota Wheat Commission Executive Director Reid Christopherson is pleasantly surprised at what was planted. “It will be interesting to see the final acreage and emergence looks ok. We already got more seeded than I expected.”
