Syngenta Agronomy Service Representative Wally West says the general consensus about the crop in the Dakotas and Minnesota is better than average. “The heat really didn’t turn on through the majority of the spring wheat belt until the crop was mature so the heat didn’t nick it too bad.” If farmers are interested in growing spring wheat in 2023, West encourages them to consider disease protection. “This was another year where disease protection was important in wetter pockets earlier on. Fast forward to later in the season, scab was a bit of an issue this year.” Hear the story.
