Located at Bremen, North Dakota, Donny Allmaras believes 80-degree weather would cure a lot of the ills with the crop. Allmaras leads a Pioneer Seed agency and covers Wells County, Eddy County, and Benson County. “The southern part of Wells County is super wet; those guys have really had a struggle for most of the season and have lots and lots of standing water,” said Allmaras. “Corn is certainly behind where we would like it to be, it just hasn’t had very many growing degree units. The soybeans are super slow. All of the small grains look quite good; they like the cooler weather. Pinto beans are really slow; they do not like wet and they do not like cold, we’ve had a lot of both.” After the heavy rains this past Monday and Tuesday, Allmaras said there will be a sizable number of prevented plant acres in the region.
