Bowman, North Dakota farmer Ryan Brooks is finished with the dry pea harvest. “We got it planted late, which we don’t like to do, but we averaged about 32 bushels per acre, it’s a decent yield considering how late we got the crop planted and how hot things got this summer.” Oats are next. “We planted oats with the intention of haying. We got a pretty good hay crop this year and oats are worth $4 to $5 per bushel so we decided to swath them. We’ll start picking those up and then, wait on durum to ripen. The spring wheat is coming later.” Photo credit: Ryan Brooks
