Ashley, North Dakota farmer Tony Schneider started barley harvest this week, despite fields holding a little bit of moisture from humidity and dew. “It looks really good after we had such a late start, but those million-dollar rains in June helped.” Initial quality and yield reports look to be good. Schneider is a little worried the barley might have sprout damage from the foggy, dewy mornings. “I’m not seeing any sprout damage yet, but it’s beginning to be a concern.”
