A total of 11{dfeadfe70caf58f453a47791a362966239aaa64624c42b982d70b175f7e3dda2} of Montana’s spring wheat crop was planted in the just the past week, moving the grand total up to 18{dfeadfe70caf58f453a47791a362966239aaa64624c42b982d70b175f7e3dda2}. The five-year average is to have 61{dfeadfe70caf58f453a47791a362966239aaa64624c42b982d70b175f7e3dda2} of the crop planted by now.

Producers in Wyoming made great strides in planting sugarbeets over the past week. A quarter of Wyoming’s total sugarbeet acreage was planted in the seven days ending Sunday. That’s now about halfway done. Barley is actually ahead of normal in the Cowboy State with 82{dfeadfe70caf58f453a47791a362966239aaa64624c42b982d70b175f7e3dda2} of the projected acreage planted.

Although light, North Dakota is finally seeing a bit of activity. Seven percent of North Dakota spring wheat is now planted, up from last week’s 1{dfeadfe70caf58f453a47791a362966239aaa64624c42b982d70b175f7e3dda2}. This is still a far cry from the 52{dfeadfe70caf58f453a47791a362966239aaa64624c42b982d70b175f7e3dda2} seeded at this time last year. Fourteen percent of sugarbeets have been planted.

Warmer temperatures also allowed some planting to progress in South Dakota. Fifty-nine percent of spring wheat has been seeded. That’s compared to the five-year average of having 85{dfeadfe70caf58f453a47791a362966239aaa64624c42b982d70b175f7e3dda2} of the crop in by this time of year. Barley progress, at 28{dfeadfe70caf58f453a47791a362966239aaa64624c42b982d70b175f7e3dda2} seeded, is quite a ways behind the 5-year average of 67{dfeadfe70caf58f453a47791a362966239aaa64624c42b982d70b175f7e3dda2} .
