Around the Bismarck, North Dakota area, Byron Richard is done harvesting spring wheat and canola. The spring wheat was impacted by the drier conditions and the canola below average. “Yields further south were running about 1,300 to 1,400 pounds on the canola. That’s below average on canola that got some rain earlier on in the summer.” Richard is helping a neighbor harvest spring wheat east of Richardton. “That crop looks fairly decent. Many farmers ran into the issue where they didn’t get wheat harvested last fall, so they had too much moisture this spring and they got into fields late. We’re running into green wheat at 15 percent moisture.”
