Crop Scouts Out This Week to Evaluate HRSW Crop

The Wheat Quality Council Spring Wheat and Durum Tour will be held this week with scouts fanning out across North Dakota and parts of Minnesota. WQC Executive Vice President Dave Green says this tour provides a fresh look at crop conditions, avoiding outside influence. “We try not to get into too much of reading other reports or what other people think,” said Green. “We’d probably try to just let everybody see it and decide as we go on the fly.” Early expectations are strong for eastern North Dakota, but Green says there are concerns elsewhere. “The government, I think, has Minnesota and North Dakota as a record crop, but I do hear there’s some dryness to the north and some dryness to the west.”
