Impressive Numbers for SW North Dakota

Thursday, February 25th, 2010

In the current uncertain times, North Dakota farmers found comfort in the numbers and quality of crops.

From late August through September southwestern North Dakota farmers have seen the perfect warm weather for harvesting. Many farmers considered it one of the best harvest in years.

Producers had not only nice yields, but nice poundage as well. Most yields are between 40 and 60 bushels per acre with wheat.

Canola in the region also had high numbers, with reports of 2,000 to 2,800 per acre.

Although winter wheat harvesting is over, farmers are now working on the spring crops.

Corn and soybean growers are in their second week of rain, having 4 1/2 times as much rain as normal. This season has seen 2.57 inches of rain compared to a normal 0.57 inches. Not only does this mean the corn cannot dry to be harvested, but the ground is also too muddy for farmers to work on.

The USDA has reported that Illinois harvest are at six percent, this is far behind the 56 percent average for this time of year. Soybeans are at 10 percent, but should be at 64 percent.
