Start Date: 9/1/2017
- End Date: 1/18/2018
Lack of moisture since August of 2017 is greatly impacting our winter wheat crop. We typically get the wheat planted into moisture, sprouted and growing by October. This year there wasn't any moisture to plant the winter wheat into so we dusted it in. As of now we haven't received enough moisture to even sprout the wheat we dusted in. Our fields are typically covered with snow at this point and they are still bare and dry.
