Mitch Konen - Teton County
Another week of limited field work. North winds, rain storms, even some grapple or snow, has made it hard to get into the saturated fields. A few are mudding it in here and there. Compaction is going to be an issue I feel. Machinery starting to roll again Monday, and it sounds like we should be looking at some summer weather by weeks end. Just kind of wonder how long summer will hang around if it shows up. Weeds and grasses are really taking off and the dandelions are in full bloom.
Moisture Conditions: Excellent
Precipitation the Past Week: .67
Winter Wheat: Excellent
Spring Wheat: Not Seeded
Barley: Good; 1-leaf
Other Crops: Canola - not seeded; Grass hay - looking for some sunshine
Problems in the Field: Wild oats, tansey mustard, dandelions
Lochiel Edwards - Chouteau County
Another week with work-inhibiting celestial spit. Some areas on Lonesome Prairie did receive a good half inch, but mostly it was .2 on Edwardsfarm. After a molasses-like emergence, I am finally calling the Safflower a full stand. Spring wheat is rowable from the road, and winterwheat is happy and healthy. Wheat, pulses and oils are still being sown, but most should be planted by the end of this week in the north half of Chouteau County.
Moisture Conditions: Excellent
Precipitation the Past Week: .2
Winter Wheat: Excellent; 5-leaf; 70 (bu/A)
Spring Wheat: Excellent; 1-leaf; 60 (bu/A)

Other Crops: Lentils just popping out of the ground
Greg Mathews - Judith Basin County
Only got one day of seeding in this past week, but it was my wettest ground, water down only a couple of inches. No spring crop coming up yet. Only got .55 of moisture this last week. Heard in the Roy area that the winter wheat is about droughted out if they do not get moisture this week, hard to believe that the storms are just missing that area. The rains have been very streaky. Best luck to all of you.
Moisture Conditions: Excellent
Precipitation the Past Week: .55
Winter Wheat: Excellent; 3-leaf; 70 (bu/A)
Barley: Excellent; Germinating; 60 (bu/A)
Problems in the Field: Have not seen any insects yet, lots of cheat, fanweed and mustards
Alex Smith - Big Horn County
Another week without any field work. Lakes are forming in the fields. Light rain this Tuesday morning. Getting late. In addition to the heavy rain we have had 2 or three days of traces of rain which keep the fields wet to the surface. Week before I had roundup failures in some fields with cool temperatures 40 at night and only 50 daytime, evening rains so have to re-spray for a day or so. Was lucky to have one farm seeded earlier but the foothill one is getting a lot of rain and showers. I have no WW but reporting on the area conditions.
Moisture Conditions: Excellent
Precipitation the Past Week: 2.7 to 3.5
Winter Wheat: Excellent; Jointing

A good week of decent weather and the crops are progressing well, along with my seeding exercising. Weeping, leaking, broken hydraulic hoses. Worn out primaries leaking seed and fertilizer, all decide to show their ugly face on Friday late afternoon at closing time of the farm store. Get put back together and the clouds start opening up again just in time to create a restful weekend. I still wouldn't have it any other way with the views I get to enjoy from my office tractor seat. Snowcapped Rocky Mountains to the west proudly displaying their 122% of normal snowpack. The landscape is slowly transitioning from its winter slumber to a great green hue that shines in the sunlight. The ground is saturated around here enough to sit and spin in a few areas, but no ruts. A few more days and I should have this seeding season wrapped up.
Moisture Conditions: Excellent
Precipitation the Past Week: .1 - .3
Winter Wheat: Excellent; Tillering
Spring Wheat: Germinating
Barley: Excellent; 2-leaf
Other Crops: Spring wheat - almost done seeding, Canola - waiting for its chance to run thru the drill. Dill, Lentils, Chickpeas, Soybeans are also going in around me this year. Alfalfa and grass doing well.
Problems in the Field: Wild oats, tansy mustard, dandelions
Lochiel Edwards - Chouteau County
Sun, heat, showers, and a cold north wind made for another week in Paradise. Winterwheat appears to be staying disease-free, and all crops look great. Some seeding remains to be done, but should be nearly complete in my neighborhood by the end of this week.

Tryg Koch - Flathead County
Things have dried out some over here and guys are running late into the night trying to get crops in before the next rain. I would say that most everyone is at least 50 percent seeded which is not the norm. We are generally 80 percent by now. There are still plenty of mud holes to go around and the tow ropes aren't far away. We're hoping that that the Flathead River will stay below its banks. It's predicted to be within 6 inches of flood stage by Sunday!! Might just need fishing boats instead of tractors if that happens.....
Precipitation the Past Week: .5 inch
Winter Wheat: Excellent; 4-leaf; 100 (bu/A)
Greg Mathews - Judith Basin County
Got .12 rain the first of the week. Back to the field on Friday and finished up putting the barley in. Got the rest of the top dressing done on Saturday and Sunday. The winter wheat is sprayed and took care of the summer fallow on Wednesday and Thursday. Big rain to the north on Saturday, 1/2 inch plus. There is still a lot of seeding to be done in the area.
Moisture Conditions: Excellent
Precipitation the Past Week: .12
Winter Wheat: Excellent; 4-leaf; 70 (bu/A)
Barley: Excellent; Germinating; 70 (bu/A)
Other Crops: Peas are just starting to show up, almost a month.
Problems in the Field: cheat fanweed, mustards, some wild oats showing up as well
Alex Smith - Big Horn County
Two days of misting rain, one day .95 hundreds and light rain this Tuesday morning means not much done again this last week. Tried seeding my last field but just can't get through the heavy damp stubble without plugging my hoe air drill. Need a summer crop or a disk drill I guess. Country looks beautiful with all the green grass. No WW of my own but reporting on the area.
Moisture Conditions: Excellent
Precipitation the Past Week: .5 to 1.1
Winter Wheat: Excellent; Jointing; 60 (bu/A)
Barley: Good; 2-leaf; 60 (bu/A)
Other Crops: Alfalfa new seeding is emerged and looking good. Mature alfalfa looks great and thick.
Problems in the Field: Lower yellow leaf disease on WW

Mitch Konen - Teton County
A good week of weather here on the Greenfields for finishing up seeding. Most equipment has made its way back into yards for cleanup and storage. A few acres remain to be seeded, mostly some pulses along with soybeans and some corn waiting out the last of the frosty mornings. The ground is saturated as it only takes about a tenth of rain to make a puddle. All in all a good start to the year with 2.72" of moisture in April - May, 2.96" for the year to date, and 4.15" for the water year Oct 1, 2016 - today. The water has been released from the reservoirs above and the canals are being flushed, ready for the irrigation season. Snowpack has remained above average guaranteeing a full season of water. The grass and the crops are looking great.
Moisture Conditions: Excellent
Precipitation the Past Week: .61
Winter Wheat: Excellent
Spring Wheat: Excellent; 1-leaf
Barley: Excellent; 2-leaf
Other Crops: Spring wheat is emerging or close to it. Canola is in the ground awaiting its emergence. Grass is growing faster than the cows can eat it. The lawn mower don't sit long either.
Problems in the Field: Wild oats, tansy mustard, dandelions
When will you begin harvest? Aug 7, 11:45am
Lochiel Edwards - Chouteau County
Seeding is finally nearing completion on Lonesome Prairie. Winterwheat is in early boot, and will be wanting meaningful precip in the next 10 days. A cooler forecast for this week will mitigate that. It may seem counterintuitive that sprayers and drills are still getting stuck daily, while ww is nearing thirst, but our mud is mostly from fall/winter carryover and precip since April 1 has been just 1.37, with most of that in showers of a few hundredths. Spring seeded crops are mostly emerged and looking good.
Moisture Conditions: Good
Precipitation the Past Week: .06
Winter Wheat: Excellent; Jointing; 70 (bu/A)
Spring Wheat: Excellent; 4-leaf; 60 (bu/A)
Other Crops: Safflower
Problems in the Field: Cheat, mustard, light powdery mildew
When will you begin harvest? July 16, 5pm
Dan Works - Chouteau County
No rain this week. Lots of field work has been accomplished. Most in the area are now done planting or very near the end. Sprayers have been busy getting the chemical fallow under control, with 75-80% of that now done too. Crops are emerging quickly with the warmer weather and soil temperatures.
Moisture Conditions: Excellent
Precipitation the Past Week: 0
Winter Wheat: Excellent; Tillering; 50 (bu/A)
Spring Wheat: Excellent; 2-leaf; 50 (bu/A)
Other Crops: Chickpeas are emerging, lentils
Problems in the Field: Reports of pea weevils in the area, broad leaf weeds are growing like crazy
When will you begin harvest? 2 hours before Locky
Tryg Koch - Flathead County
Things are still plenty wet!!! Guys are getting their crops in but there will definitely be some prevent plant acres up here this year. The Flathead River is just about at flood stage so we are all crossing our fingers that it doesn't get too bad!! Our chick peas are up and so are the lentils and our camelina. We have about 300 acres of spring wheat to seed yet and then we can go have a beer!! It's been a long drawn out planting season! Might need two beers!!!!!
Moisture Conditions: Excellent
Precipitation the Past Week: Half inch
Winter Wheat: Good; 5-leaf; 100 (bu/A)

Some are done seeding some have a few more days to go. Only our two fields of winter wheat and a neighbors two 14 miles away are only ww in area...lots of lentils and Y peas and chickpeas with spring wheat area down 30%??, if not more. Rain forecast next week hope it comes or the big plan for 2017 will be disappointing. We have faith.

Still a lot of spring seeding going on. We are about done seeding barley. It was challenging with all the wet fields and wet spots. But did not have to send any pictures in to Lockie. Done spraying and top dressing winter wheat. The moisture conditions are good here. However, east and north of here things are a dry. Froze again last night. Makes it a little tough for spraying. Remembering back, the tractor used to go over the ground 4 operations and the sprayer 1 operation. Now days the sprayer goes over the ground 4 operations and the tractor once. Times have changed.
Moisture Conditions: Good
Precipitation the Past Week: Just a few showers
Winter Wheat: Poor; 4-leaf

A good week of growing weather for the crops has brought the Greenfields to life after its winter slumber and spring transition. The week started out fairly wet with some big rains. Perfect timing for the just seeded canola. I spent the last half of the week in Missoula at the state high school tennis matches watching Fairfield's tennis team take third place as a team and my daughter and her partner take second in the girls doubles bracket. Congratulations to all for a good season. Now it is time for graduation ceremonies. They grow up so fast.

Problems in the Field: Wild oats, tansy mustard, dandelions
When will you begin harvest? Aug 7, 1:30pm
Lochiel Edwards - Chouteau County
Lonesome Prairie saw another dry week, and the winter wheat is rooting down to keep up. The crested wheat is starting to turn blue, but only on the warmer days, so we can get by a while longer. Spring wheat is all ages, from tillering to just emerged. Pulses have a similar age spread, but planting is done, essentially. Disease pressure is light, so far, and sawfly should emerge this week.
Moisture Conditions: Fair
Precipitation the Past Week: 0.00
Winter Wheat: Excellent; Booting; 70 (bu/A)
Spring Wheat: Excellent; Tillering; 60 (bu/A)
Other Crops: Safflower
Problems in the Field: Sawfly this Thursday, according to Dan Works; cheat, mustard
When will you begin harvest? July 16, 11am
Todd Hansen - Hill County
Seeding is a wrap in my immediate area. Still drills rolling west of me. HRW spraying is about wrapped up. Chemfallow is close. We aren't dry. But the trend this spring has me concerned. The rain pattern has been south and west of us. Been to a few graduations in the last weeks. Not only do we raise quality crops but also quality kids. Good luck graduates.
Moisture Conditions: Good
Precipitation the Past Week: Little to none
Winter Wheat: Good; Jointing
Spring Wheat: Excellent
Barley: Excellent; Tillering
Other Crops: Chickpeas, lentils, canola
Craig Henke - Liberty County
A few are still seeding, but most have parked the air seeders for spring of 2017. Most winter wheat sprayed, and early spring wheat about ready to spray. Lentils and chickpeas are looking good. Lots of water in Marias River, haven't started to irrigate yet, but getting things ready.
Moisture Conditions: Excellent
Precipitation the Past Week: .25
Winter Wheat: Excellent; Jointing; 50 (bu/A)
Spring Wheat: Excellent; 5-leaf; 50 (bu/A)
Other Crops: All pulse crops look good
Problems in the Field: Lots of tansy mustard
Leonard Schock - McCone County
Well the weekend came and went and the forecasted rain went as well. Stil no measureable precip. We are at 35% of normal and the grass and early crops are starting to show the problem. As the crops emerge I see less and less spring wheat. About every third or fourth field is wheat others are pulses....end users take note! Took a 200 mile loop drive last week of my district and it all is about in the same boat (dry docked). Some emergence problems as well do to dryness. We need a rain soon to come close to making a crop.
Moisture Conditions: Poor
Precipitation the Past Week: None
Winter Wheat: Good; Booting; 30 (bu/A)
Spring Wheat: Good; 2-leaf; 70 (bu/A)
Terry Angvick - Sheridan County
Most producers on the tail end of planting. Pulse crops are in and early seedings look good. Same with the early planting of durum. Whole area has received minimal rain for months of April and May (.33 to .75). We could really use a nice rain. Subsoil moisture still good, but surface disappearing fast.
Moisture Conditions: Fair
Precipitation the Past Week: None
Winter Wheat: Not Seeded
Other Crops: Peas, lentils and durum main crops. Lots of lentils. Less durum. Again, early seeded crops look very good. Weed pressure limited as with no rain, surface moisture dry so no significant weed germination.
Problems in the Field: Weeds-light as soil surface very dry.
When will you begin harvest? Mid to late July for peas. Late July to the army August lentils and durum.
Greg Mathews - Judith Basin County
It has been an interesting week with some areas getting multiple rain showers and others just a few. Martinsdale area got 2 plus inches of rain, to the north 1 plus inches and here at home only .53. Froze twice last week. The area as a whole looks great but a little rust and wheat streak showing up to the north of Moore.
Moisture Conditions: Excellent

Michelle Erickson-Jones - Northern Yellowstone, Eastern Stillwater, Southern Golden Valley County
We took advantage of a few dry days and got the last of the "important" spring seeding done. We also sprayed the spring wheat and barley. All of this was followed by 1.5-2+ inches of rain. Our plans for alfalfa and grass seeding will have to wait until it dries out. All of the wheat and barley looks outstanding.
Moisture Conditions: Excellent
Precipitation the Past Week: 1.5-2+
Winter Wheat: Excellent; Booting
Spring Wheat: Excellent; Tillering
Barley: Excellent; Tillering
Other Crops: Sunflowers: Germinating. Alfalfa: Excellent condition. Willow Creek: Booting - Excellent Condition. Hay barley/peas: 5-6 leaves. Excellent Condition
Problems in the Field: Scattered areas of leaf disease. Most applied fungicide when crop spraying.
Jim McCabe - Carter County
Things look good, WW had a few holes in it but we overlook it and time and rain took care of it. Spring crops look good, had crusting problems not use to sowing in moisture and rain complete turnaround from last year. In my travels, wheat looks to be only grown so you keep your rotation, pulse, pulse, pulse any and all kinds.
Moisture Conditions: Good
Precipitation the Past Week: Showers .10 -.30
Winter Wheat: Good
Other Crops: Peas, chickpeas mortgage lifters
Problems in the Field: Cut worms sprayed before done seeding peas to much stubble

Another great week of growing weather for the crops. Plus graduations for seniors. We are transitioning into empty nesters in the interim. Glad to have the farm work to keep the mind on other things. The crops on the Greenfields are coming along nicely. Most all crops are at least rowed out now, with some of the winter and early crops starting to show a little heat stress in the afternoons. Irrigation has started as more and more pivots are coming online. A lot of activity in the fields with wings on wheels doing the spraying. Drove to the mountains yesterday and the winter wheat appears to be fairly close to heading out. Spring crops are sure stretched out for timing from jointing to rowing out.
Moisture Conditions: Excellent
Precipitation the Past Week: .1 - .3
Winter Wheat: Excellent; Booting;
Spring Wheat: Excellent; 3-leaf
Barley: Excellent; Tillering
Other Crops: Canola - can actually see the rows from the road, 1-2 leaf; Grass hay - reaching for another shower

Lochiel Edwards - Chouteau County
Another dry and windy week on the prairie, and Thursday's wind did physical damage to the leaves on most crops. I am reducing winterwheat potential by 15 bushel this week due to moisture stress. Spring-seeded crops still have adequate water. Some winterwheat has headed, and much more will head this week.
Moisture Conditions: Fair
Precipitation the Past Week: 0.00
Winter Wheat: Fair; Heading; 50 (bu/A)

No rain. Tons of wind. In the area some fields where blown flat. Crops are definitely showing drought stress. I would like to thank all the veterans. And hope to see you at the Ag summit and MGGA golf tournament.
Precipitation the Past Week: .03
Dan Works - Chouteau County
Another interesting week on the farm. High winds have done their fair share of damage. Many of the pulse crop fields that have been rolled started to blow. The spring rains have ceased in this part of the world. Memorial Day weekend was extremely nice, camper had no call for raincoats. The sawfly were a day or two late coming out, but could be seen swarming on Saturday.
Moisture Conditions: Fair
Precipitation the Past Week: Notta
Winter Wheat: Good; Heading; 50 (bu/A)
Spring Wheat: Excellent; 4-leaf; 40 (bu/A)
Other Crops: Chickpeas and lentils
Problems in the Field: Sawfly; some kochia and russian thistle in spring wheat; leaf disease is starting to show up in spring wheat
Leonard Schock - McCone County
Here it's Monday am and another dry windy day. To those that are fighting the too wet syndrome remember the alternative I think it is worse. Here in our area we are at some 30% of normal for the last 60 days. That would be four tenths of rain since early March. And we do not show up on the drought monitor map (just looked)! The winter wheat went blue early last week and the early seeded crops Peas and small grains are starting to show stress as well. We have a good stand and only have emergence issues on the very last seeded acres. I have told my crew what we have going on is nothing that a 3 day, four inch rain would fix, but the odds of that don't appear to be in the forecast. We seem to be getting excess winds now. Temps are also starting to warm as well. We are getting to 78 and with 78 mph (well maybe only 38 mph) winds, things are going downhill fast. Ditch grass is burnt up and half will not head out. The cowboy's grass is gone on the spring pastures and the summer ones will only last a couple weeks and they will be gone. This problem is quite local but expanding north and east of here. On our farm I am now expecting a production number that will be one half of normal If things turn around soon and much less to mostly failed acres if no more rain in 20 days. Droughts are a slow death vs the 20 minutes of loss from hail. Sorry for the bleak news but that's the way it is.
Moisture Conditions: Poor
Precipitation the Past Week: Zero again
Winter Wheat: Poor; Heading; 20 (bu/A)
Spring Wheat: Good; 4-leaf; 30 (bu/A)
Problems in the Field: I'm sure the grasshopper will show up soon when we get a little warmer
Greg Mathews - Judith Basin County
What a week! Finished up seeding alfalfa early in the week, after all the wind finally dried the ground up. Now waiting for some rain. Only got .07 on Thursday. Winter wheat is looking really good, barley is starting to take off, and the peas are slowly growing. Got them rolled on the weekend and sprayed. Hay is looking awesome do not need any more freezing temps. On to spraying the barley for wild oats and weeds.
Moisture Conditions: Excellent
Precipitation the Past Week: .07
Winter Wheat: Excellent; Tillering; 70 (bu/A)
Barley: Excellent; 3-leaf; 70 (bu/A)
Other Crops: Peas had to spray for grasses and some bugs
Problems in the Field: Some bugs in the peas
Robert Bold - Fergus County
Took a little Memorial Day trip into Canada. Noticed a couple of things. We spent most of our trip along Highway 1. No highway center rumble strips--which I despise. Gas is over $3/gallon. A lot of seeding took place in short order. We did not see anything that needed to be seeded. 40 plus % of the fields are rolled. Pulses? Over 70% not yet emerged. Alberta looks better than Sask. Glasgow and north looks dry. Got in a tough hail storm at East Glacier. For the month of May we got 1.34 inches. 2.7 inches in average. Good moisture carry over for 2016 and April.
Moisture Conditions: Good
Precipitation the Past Week: None to not much
Winter Wheat: Good; Jointing
Spring Wheat: 3-leaf
Barley: Good; Tillering
Jim McCabe - Carter County
Things are getting a little dicey, it'd sure be nice if it would rain a little more than .15 hundred. WW early boot still a crop, but I bet it turns into a hay bale. Hay crops have virtually stopped. Peas look good, grass is sprayed but you wonder for how long. Chickpeas look good. Going to start spring grain spraying tomorrow. Send rain soon or cows will get hungry.
Moisture Conditions: Fair
Precipitation the Past Week: .15
Winter Wheat: Good; Booting; 30 (bu/A)
