Crops are generally in decent shape in central and western North Dakota. “We’re lagging alittle behind the five-year average (for GDUs) depending on when the crop was planted,” said Larry Lunder, field agronomist, Pioneer. “Considering when we got into the field, we’re in a lot better shape than I thought we’d be. We had a fairly warm summer and that helped us make up a lot of ground.” A good, long fall is needed to get the crop to maturity. “Keep fingers crossed that we go to go frost-free throughout September.” Lunder believes sunflower and small grains will probably be the best yielding crops in his area.
