Top-Dressing Small Grains
It’s the time of year when small grains producers are currently top-dressing their crops or trying to decide whether it is time to top-dress.

Wheat Yield Reports
Wheat harvesting has started and the first yield reports are in. The Dorward family harvested a field I had previously inspected for freeze damage.
