Crop investigator Rex Willard reports that North Dakota wheat production dropped 56 percent from 1917 to 1921 due to moisture shortages, hail, hot winds, rust, and pests. He notes 1919 saw 63 percent loss, 1920 only 47 percent, with regional variations in the Red River Valley and Slope country. The state’s long-term average yield is about 10.31 bushels per acre, and best-ever county yields would raise the average to 19.4 bushels if achieved.
