Custom combiner Josh Beckley says his crew started harvesting winter wheat near Pierre, South Dakota this past week. Rains delayed some harvest progress, but the early reports for yield aren’t bad. “Yield-wise, we’re looking at 70 bushel wheat, but that’s pretty preliminary. For projections, there could be 80 to 90 bushel per acre winter wheat. I’m not sure where the spring wheat will fall.” In the next few weeks, Beckley will be in southwest North Dakota harvesting. So far this year, he’s harvested wheat in Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas.
