For the first time in months, North Dakota farmers are thankful for the weather. Last week the entire state was dry helping farmers gain on small-grain crops and helping develop late season crops.
According to the latest reports from the U.S. Department of Agriculture the current spring wheat harvest is 44 percent complete. Although this number is good, it is still behind compared to 2008.
The same report said barley and oats are ahead of the game being 60 percent finished and the durum harvest is 26 percent complete.
Alfalfa crops are in the process of completion with farmers cutting the majority of the state thus far. However, some dry conditions in parts of the state are putting areas at fire risk.
