North Dakota Grain Growers Association President Ed Kessel was driving one of the routes on the Wheat Quality Council Spring Wheat and Durum Tour. The crop is highly variable, but disease pressure is non-existant. “Other than a little bit of grasshopper pressure west of Gwinner, the fields have been fairly clean.” While in southeastern North Dakota, Kessel said it may be a below-average crop, “but, it’s not a horrible crop.”
