Rolla, North Dakota farmer Doyle Lentz got most of his intended acres planted this year. “We started on the worst first and then, actually, it ended up being fairly good. The crops look alright, we just wish it were three weeks earlier.” Lentz says maturity is all over the board. Crops in the Munich, North Dakota area were still being seeded in mid-June, but Gary Beck is happy with their condition. “Everything is late so we have to wait for a long fall and a good, hot summer.” Litchville, North Dakota farmer Mark Formo “We only got a third of the crop in with a lot wet ground and on that third of a crop, we got hail on half of that on June 27,” said Formo. “We’ve got beans that got hammered with that hail.” Hear about other crop conditions in the area in the latest Crop Watch.
