Golden Valley threshing near finish amid strong yields
Weather over ten days boosted harvest in Golden Valley with two weeks more of good weather needed to finish. Yields are mainly No 1 grade despite early-season rain, aided by many tractors moving grain to local terminals. Farmers expect higher prices due to Balkan tensions and uncertain European war outcome. Wheat price rose seven cents weekly, but a possible Canadian wheat import may drop prices slightly. Average yields 15 to 30 bushels per acre, with some reports up to 32.
