Heads up to the grain traders! Heavy rains last week In a large area of spring wheat and durum country brought sprouting in the standing heads. Not too much was spared, when checking after the rains some had decent color or was even greenish colored but still was sprouted. Wasn't fit to cut before the rain. A quick call to friends in North Dakota and Minnesota revealed the were in the same position as we were. Just getting started on spring grains.. These rains also affected a large area of southern Canada. My only thought besides losing a very large amount of money and not being able to continue farming is that the cattlemen will have plenty of feed. Please comment if you were in the heavy rainfall areas and you were spared sprouting grain in the heads?
