[QUOTE="Allen, post: 226788, member: 389"] Right, back in late May as we entered the growing season there were dust clouds for miles along highway 83 from Minot to the Garrison turn. It didn't look good as farmers put seed into dust with little expectation that it would even germinate. Fast forward to now and while germination was a problem in many areas, there are parts of the state that are above normal for precip going back 30, 60, and 90 days. Yeah, there are crops that suck, some have even been zeroed out by crop insurance, but it sure as heck isn't as bad as it looked like it was going to be back in May. And today we have rains moving in from MT and SD as I type, some more good rains (and a little hail plus wind) are going to once again limp some of those crops to the finish line. I see my neighbor's small grain (wheat) failed and crop insurance must have told him to do something with it, so he whacked it with round-up. It was probably about 6-9 inches tall, so not even enough to hay. Kind of surprised my other neighbor's feed barley was worth haying, but he put it up last week. It was only about 12-14 inches tall and pretty thin. [/QUOTE]
