Farmers in Munich, North Dakota, like Gary Beck, are finishing up their early barley harvesting. “We finished our barley a couple of days ago. We’re down a few acres, but the barley crop was good on our farm. The yield was good. The test weight was probably a little lighter, probably 47 pounds.” Beck says there’s still late-planted barley to be harvested in the coming days. “Lot of folks didn’t have as many acres as last year, but that’s the story of North Dakota. Early barley from around the county is coming off and there’s still some later barley that isn’t ready yet.”
