DAR R E L L N E SBIT T / CR O SSR O ADS T H IS W E E K Accepting a few days of rest thanks to various accumulations of rain, grain producers got back to harvesting fields of crop this week, although due to moisture levels, grain may need to be dried. Not one, but three combines featuring massive headers were found working along Highway 16 in the Foxwarren area over the course of the first week in September.

Despite some recent rainfall, producers across the region are reporting a productive harvest season, with many major crops already in the bin and strong yields across the board. The warm, dry weather for
most of harvest to date has allowed for steady progress. Specifically targeting harvest progress and crop quality, harvest of winter wheat and fall rye across the southwest region is complete, with both crops showing average quality. Winter wheat yields are averaging a strong 50 to 70 bushels per acre, and fall
rye is performing even better at 88 to 90 bushels per acre. Spring wheat harvest is about 70% finished, with 90% of the crop rated as good quality. Yields are ranging from 40 to 80 bushels per acre, with an average of 65 to 70 bushels. The protein content is also high, between 13.5% and 15%.

Barley is 75% harvested, with yields between 75 and 90 bushels per acre. While most of the crop is being straight cut, some fields were swathed, or cut and laid in rows to dry. However, heavy rains may cause the quality of these swathed crops to decline. The field pea harvest is also complete, with very good yields.
Oats are about 40% harvested, with slightly above average yields of 90 to 120 bushels per acre.
