A couple updates today -- first is a HARVEST REPORT where we continue our Great Falls-region coverage. Ed Bandel who is cutting wheat near Great Falls visits with us in our video below. Second, the NASS crop condition and crop progress reports came out yesterday for Montana. Highlights include: 👉 Winter wheat crop is predicted to be a whopper at 97B bushels and nearly 3/4 complete. 👉 Durum is having a tough go, forecast at 25% down from 2023. We'll have a producer report form the northeast corner soon. 👉 Barley is rating stronger than last year with 59% good to excellent. A few showers in the past week have barley growers pacing over potential sprout; we'll keep you posted. 👉 Spring wheat is predicted to be 33 bu/acre versus NASS' earlier 35 bu prediction; the lesser June moisture and July heat has definitely been a factor. https://lnkd.in/gfDZdVUb
