Wheat Outlook ๐พ
HRW conditions are hanging in there, but yield is forecast at 40 bu/acre, down from 50 last year. Harvest is expected to begin in 3โ4 weeks.
NASS has HRS looking a little better at 48% fair and 44% good-to-excellent, but forecasted heat will be something to watch

Spring wheat planting is 87% complete, with 50% emerged.
HRW ratings slipped slightly, with 25% rated poor to fair. SD producers say rain is needed soon. ๐ง๏ธ
Good news: USDA-WASDE raised the 2026/27 wheat price outlook from $5.00 to $6.50. ๐

End use quality is extremely important target of all winter wheat breeding programs. Elite lines go through multi state growouts and assessed for milling and baking quality by industry through Wheat Quality Council. โค๏ธ๐พ๐ง๏ธ๐#BrookingsWQCGrowout @wheatsd @SDState

Although most of SD is dry, drought conditions can lower disease challenges in #wheat!
๐Here's a quick refresher on common diseases in SD and their treatments!
