Crop yields in the area are
turning out to be "good" or
"really good," elevator man-
agers say.
The harvest has been slow,
however, with some farmers
reporting they have to wait
until early afternoon to start
up their combines due to
damp, dewy mornings.
Statewide, the North Dakota
Department of Agriculture
says the harvest is about three
weeks or more behind the
usual schedule. Hotter weath-
er, plus wind this past week-
end, seemed to put the har-
vest into high gear as produc-
ers took advantage of the
weather.
With winter wheat the first
off.the fields, elevator man-
agers were able to get a sense
of the outcome of that crop,
but the spring wheat harvest
has been in its beginning
stages in some areas.
"I think it's a pretty good
crop," said Paul
Lautenschlager, manager of
Beach Co-op Grain Co.
Some of the quality is
lower, having been bleached
by rain, but it's still of mar-
ketable quality, said
Lautenschlager.
Pulse crops and lentils that
he's seen have come in with
good yields and good quality,
he said.
Mark Baar, manager of
SoUthwest Grain in Belfield,
said winter wheat yields have
been "really good" and in the
40 to 60 bushel per-acre
range. Protein content has
been average or low.
Gary Howard, manager of
the Golva Co-op Elevator,
also reported yields in the 40
to 60 bushel range, while the
protein figures have been
good. Peas did well during
the cooler summer, and he's
heard of canola yields of
2,1300 pounds per acre.
Wheat prices last year
were in the $8 to $9 range,
but prices now are under $4
to $4.50, said Lautenschlager.
Such is the result of a
decreased demand for
exports, and an abundance of

The importance of establishing an' emergency fund
Setting money aside for an emergency is a smart move. Expensive car
repairs, job loss, or unforseen medical expenses can present financial
challenges. We suggest setting aside three to months earnings in a
safe place like a Savings Account, Money Market Account or short-term
CD so your money is available when you need it. When you bank with
us, your money is completely safe.
