Potential record wheat harvest for North Dakota producers
BALDWIN, N.D. (KFYR) – It’s shaping as much as be an incredible yr for crop producers. If the USDA’s projection of 51 bushels per acre pans out, North Dakota might expertise one of the best yr of wheat harvesting ever.
Amber waves of grain. A sight for sore eyes after final yr’s drought.
”To return again from a drought like that, I might’ve by no means anticipated it. It actually was an incredible feat that mom nature got here up with,” stated Curt Coleman.
For Curt Coleman and his brother, Clark, who farm east of Baldwin, 2022 is shaping as much as be a bumper crop yr.
”Our confirmed yield is that 38 to 40 bushel, and I feel we’ve taken off in all probability a pair hundred acres now, and I feel we’re going to be effectively into the fifties as a median,” stated Clark.
And so they haven’t harvested their greatest fields but.
”I feel that as we get perhaps to a few of our additional east fields that caught a bit of extra rain than we did round residence right here, I kinda assume they’re gonna be considerably higher,” stated Curt.
However for the Colemans, wheat may not even be their greatest crop this yr.
”In all probability one of the best barley crop that we’ve ever raised,” stated Clark.
The Colemans aren’t counting their chickens simply but, as harvest for quite a lot of crops will proceed into the autumn, however for now, they’re pleased with the yields they’re seeing.
The constructive yields are a product of a moist spring, however cropland has dried up lately. As of Thursday, 24% of the state is abnormally dry in response to the U.S. Drought Monitor.

Letter: We're not going back

In an Aug. 4th story, Gov. Burgum is quoted as saying a Walz vice presidency “would be negative for North Dakota.” But Walz – as Minnesota governor – has already been positive for the people of North Dakota. Minnesota’s
North Star Promise tuition plan
led North Dakota State University to try to match the Walz program of free tuition to students from families earning less than $80,000 per year. Walz’s leadership: a positive factor.
But it’s Walz’s clean energy efforts that really raise Burgum’s hackles.
Look, Burgum is obviously a very smart guy, with a Stanford MBA, a successful software business, and two terms as governor. Faced with devastating heat events, more powerful storms, floods, and costly disasters, he certainly can see that climate change is here and will increasingly impact the lives of North Dakotans. And he knows that the root cause of a changing climate is fossil fuel emissions.
And yet, instead of moving the state into the future of wind, solar, geothermal – as Abbott has done in Texas – he clings to coal. His stated goal of North Dakota being a zero-emissions state (made more feasible by the Biden/Harris Inflation Reduction Act’s generous tax credits for carbon capture) shows that he understands the need to reduce carbon emissions. But how much more state and federal money should North Dakota put into Project Tundra?
Walz may be a negative for Burgum’s coal interests, having enacted legislation carefully moving Minnesota’s energy production to zero emissions by 2040. But Walz’s action – and similar actions across the country – are very positive for the health of North Dakota’s people and the state’s agricultural sector. While it won’t happen tomorrow, technology is moving the country to a clean, dependable, and independent energy future with prices no longer subject to world events. Wind and solar alone are on pace to exceed the energy generated by coal in the USA this year.
I grew up in Fargo. As soon as I was able to lift a coal shovel, my job each winter night was to fill the hopper that fed our coal furnace. But that coal furnace was replaced by oil, then natural gas, and now, economically, by electric air source heat pumps.
Am I nostalgic about the past? Certainly. But I’m looking forward. We’re not going back.

Our newsroom occasionally reports stories under a byline of “staff.” Often, the “staff” byline is used when rewriting basic news briefs that originate from official sources, such as a city press release about a road closure, and which require little or no reporting. At times, this byline is used when a news story includes numerous authors or when the story is formed by aggregating previously reported news from various sources. If outside sources are used, it is noted within the story.
