Millions Of Acres Go Unplanted In North Dakota

To be exact an estimated 4.4 million acres of North Dakota cropland will go unplanted this year, based on an early estimate by U.S. Department of Agriculture. This of course is due to heavy snow and rain in April and May.

Most of this acreage is North of State Highway 200...4.4 Million is a LOT of acres!!! My families farm near Elgin was fortunate, we got all but 300 acres planted. Good luck to all through the rest of the season and hoping the white combine does not pay you a visit!
