North Dakota | Looks like they are due for a major train-wreck with increased production in one crop. Experienced that in 1993. After a great stretch of wheat crops culminating in average yields in 1992 which still stand as my farms best disease struck with a vengeance. Fusarium head blight hit. Remember harvesting a 110 acre piece of wheat on my best ground that fit in a tandem truck. It hit a tri-state area in that timeframe as well. Hundreds of thousands of acres. I dumped that one truck in a slew because elevators wouldn’t take it. That was the end of cool season grass crops in close rotation. Not intimating that will necessarily happen but it is in the cards if Mother Nature decides to call. | |
