Small grain seed supplies are tight going into 2022. North Dakota State Seed Department Commissioner Ken Bertsch says the number of spring wheat acres under certification increased in 2021, but farmers should act now if that want a specific variety. “At the seed department, we’re seeing seed moving earlier than normal.” As of Friday, the number of certified spring wheat bushels is almost double what it was last year. “There’s a lot of seed being conditioned and moved for retail purposes.”
