Michigan wheat harvest brings surprising yields

A wheat extension specialist expects a 10 percent wheat yield decline in Michigan because of dry conditions.

Dennis Pennington with Michigan State University tells Brownfield some regions of the state have experienced crop failures while others could see up to 120 bushels per acre.

“I’ve had reports of growers that are very happy with what their results that they’re seeing in the field and others that are like, ‘It’s just an average year,’” he shares.
