A Burleigh County farmer whose corn was too short for the chopper to reach, used his draper header, a header typically used for small grains, to cut the corn for use as cattle feed. Most of the corn did not tassel and made few ears.
Irrigated durum wheat produced 35 bushels per acre, while the dryland made five bpa. Normal yield would be 90 to 100 bpa. Barley and soybeans do not look healthy.
