In Onida, South Dakota, Oahe Grain manager Tim Luken says spring wheat harvest is wrapping up. “We’re at about 99 percent done. The crop north of here, around Gettysburg, hasn’t started yet. That’s due to later fungicide applications.” Oahe Grain had to turn away a few bushels due to ergot. The west river crop didn’t have any ergot issues, but the yields were lower due to dry growing conditions. “The worst areas I’ve heard about are around 15-to-20 (bushels per acre). Otherwise, we’re hearing about that 40-to-45 range moving to the east.”
