In the Northwood, North Dakota area, the corn is starting to tassel. Jared Hagert says the crop looks promising. “The warm nights have really helped move our growing degree units along.” Hagert says the early-planted soybeans have started to take off. Edibles were set back by the recent rain, but are moving to the bloom stage. Regarding spring wheat, Hagert is cautiously optimistic. “I don’t think there is a bin-buster out there; it really depends on grain fill and the impact we have with the heat that’s coming through.”
