We just got back from a 10 day trip that took us from the Spokane area to central Minnesota. Coming back, we went through North Dakota and the northern part of Montana. Along our route, we only had water over the highway in one spot, in central ND, but it was pretty close in a number of places.
Through most of the trip, I saw lots of water covered fields. Some had been planted to various crops, but any low spot had a puddle of undetermined depth. Lots of other areas probably had not been planted yet, because it was too wet to try. I feel real bad for the farmers--it is a mess.
I wonder what this wet, cold Spring will do to commodity prices? I bet yields will be way down, at least on some crops, and probably harvests will be late.
We have had much more moisture here in Eastern Washington than usual and it has been a cold Spring. The winter wheat looks OK, and the bluegrass seems fine, but anything that had to be planted this spring is way behind. A couple of farmers I talked to said they thought they were about 6 weeks late on their spring work.
