Joe Miller planted his wheat at the end of April and allowed it to dry naturally. “The wheat ran okay; it was on sandier ground, so I wasn’t expecting much, but I think some of it did fairly well,” said Miller. “About 65 bushels (per acre), some of it was about 50 bushels.” The Walsh County, North Dakota farmer said the dry period has hurt both corn and sunflowers. “They’re holding on. I was checking some corn the other day and I’m going to need all of September and probably a little more rain before that is going to finish well.”
