| Field Crops Report
Most crops are in the ground, therefore, we are seeing higher numbers
in the emerged, boot, and blooming stages. Winter wheat is 44 percent
boot stage, up from last week's 15 percent. The winter wheat crop is
66 percent good and excellent condition. Spring wheat is 96 percent
emerged and 4 percent boot stage. Northwest Montana has seen large numbers
of grasshoppers hatching in the drier areas.
