Summary
The 2018 hard red winter wheat harvest is now complete in all states except Montana where rain slowed harvest earlier in the week. Scattered rainfall and cooler temperatures early in the week slowed harvest progress in the hard red spring growing region but a dry and warm pattern in the forecast should get producers back in the field shortly. Weather remains favorable as Pacific Northwest soft white wheat harvest is winding down. Durum harvest is underway in the Northern Plains though recent rains throughout the region have slowed is down. The final 2018 Soft Red Winter Crop Report is complete and available online at http://bit.ly/2MlkyEp.
