University of Minnesota Small Grains Specialist Jochum Wiersma is pleased with the condition of the small grain crop. “I think, overall, the earliest seeded which was in the first and second week of April looks good. I don’t see any stand problems. We’re going to see a little bit of drown-outs with some standing water in the fields. The crop that got seeded late, in the third week of April, especially in the Southern (Red River) Valley, is all coming through and popping out of the ground now so I think we’re in good shape.”
