Grand Forks-based custom combiner Kent Braathen’s crew is waiting for wheat to ripen after wrapping up harvest in Texas and Kansas. “Those (Texas) fields probably only had about one inch of rain during the growing season. The wheat ranges from ten bushels to the mid-30s for irrigated wheat. That crop is probably average.” The crop around Kiowa, Kansas had May rains and was a little better. “Everything we cut there averaged 42 bushels per acre. Some of the wheat had 64 pound test weight; it was a good crop there.”
