Spring wheat harvest is moving slow for farmers in southwest North Dakota. at Regent, there’s wet wheat in fields. “Our wheat looks alright, though others are having quality issues,” says farmer Josh Greff. “With one week of rain ahead, farmers are trying to get the wheat harvested. We had one field with some ergot, but it was a smaller field. I have heard of bad falling numbers from other farmers.” It’s rare for wheat harvest to last this long. “We had a lot of late rains. Suckers are popping up in the fields,” says Greff. “Those suckers are little wheat that comes up later, but they don’t ripen. It sounds like everyone is having issues with that.”
