(North Dakota Monitor) – An annual industry tour of the wheat crop in North Dakota and northwest Minnesota projects lower yields than a year ago but an overall good quality crop.
The Wheat Quality Council tour projects an average yield of 49 bushels per acre, down from 54.5 bushels in 2024. The durum wheat forecast also was down at 37 bushels per acre, compared to 45.3 in 2024.
Dave Green, one of the tour organizers for the Wheat Quality Council, said the yield projections did not quite live up to his expectations.
“I thought it looked a little better than that,” he said during a debriefing at North Dakota State University for participants in the three-day tour.
