North Dakota Wheat Commission

North Dakota Wheat Commission Promoting North Dakota wheat domestically and to customers around the world. The North Dakota Wheat Commission is directed through a grassroots approach.

The North Dakota Wheat Commission works to sustain and expand use of wheat grown by North Dakota farmers by creating worldwide market opportunities through efforts including opening overseas markets, reinforcing consumption of grain foods, developing new wheat varieties and influencing international import and export policies. Wheat producers fund these programs with a checkoff of a penny and a ha

lf on each bushel sold. Producers meet at the county level to elect representatives, who in turn elect six district commissioners. The governor appoints a seventh commissioner from a list of nominees submitted by major farm and grower organizations. These seven producers make up the board of commissioners. They develop policy and programs, oversee their implementation and approve budget expenditures. Commissioners can serve no more than three four-year terms. Five employees administer programs and activities.

As harvest starts to make its way into North Dakota, one of the busiest times of year is officially underway. To every farmer and farm family across the state, we wish you a safe and prosperous harvest.

We know how long the days get this time of year, but no bushel is worth getting hurt over. As things start to ramp up, we're asking everyone to slow down and stay sharp:

🌾 Watch for equipment on the roads
🌾 Give machinery plenty of room
🌾 Stay clear of running augers
🌾 Never enter a grain bin with equipment running

Shortcuts and long, tired days are where accidents happen. So please, look out for yourself and each other.

To all our producers, their families, and everyone hauling, hustling, and helping bring in this year's crop, THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO!

Here's to a safe and bountiful harvest season. 🌾

Tomorrow is National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day, and there's no way we're letting it pass without celebrating. 🍪

We're getting a head start with our favorite oatmeal chocolate chip cookie recipe. And every batch starts with flour, which means there's a good chance your cookies are made with wheat grown right here in North Dakota!
Save this one so it's ready when you preheat the oven tomorrow!

We want to know: what's your go-to add-in: nuts, extra chips, or keep it classic?

Relentless heat and expanding drought pushed condition ratings lower for both spring wheat and durum this past week. Here's where things stand:

✅ HRS: Just over half the crop rated good to excellent (down from ~60%), with nearly 20% now poor to very poor
✅ Durum: 90% headed and slightly ahead of the 5-year average, but good-to-excellent slipped to 64% (from 83%)
✅ Central & southern ND hit hardest as triple-digit temps drained already-short soil moisture
✅ Harvest underway in the south — still too early to gauge yield & quality
✅ Isolated rain chances late week, but above-average heat returns into early August

Cooler temps and moisture can't come soon enough. 🤞🌧️

Spring wheat and durum conditions are holding steady, but this week's above-normal temperatures could add pressure during the critical grain-fill stage.

Hard Red Spring: 65% of North Dakota's crop is rated good to excellent, with just under 80% headed out. Producer reports remain mostly optimistic, though disease pressure is high due to humid conditions.

Durum: North Dakota's crop continues to show well at 83% good to excellent, with about 65% headed out. In Montana, early-season dryness has ratings running lower.

Triple-digit heat arrived over the weekend — 10 to 15 degrees above normal — and warmer conditions are expected to last through the week, stressing crops where moisture is short.
