Oahe Grain, Onida location manager Tim Luken, is receiving wheat at the elevator. “Last week, a few farmers got loads complete with moisture coming in at the 12 to 13 percent. This week will be a big push.” Winter wheat acres are down this year. “Our acres of wheat, as a whole, are dwindling,” says Luken. “However, there are more spring wheat acres than I thought there would be this year. When the corn board collapsed, people started planting spring wheat. In the next two weeks, we’ll start seeing some spring wheat and then, harvest will work its way north.”
