In the Jamestown area, farmer Terry Wanzek is preparing to harvest spring wheat. “Within the next few days we’ll start harvest. The crop is really turning fast. It looks respectable, but I guess based on the June dry spell it may be off a bit, but you never know until you’re actually harvesting.” Wanzek wrapped up rye harvest in July. “The hot, dry conditions in June hurt some of our cereal crops to some degree. In fact, our rye crop was down 25 percent from normal. Now, we’re getting more rains and the row crops look pretty good.”
