In their final weekly crop report of the year, the U.S. Department of Agriculture confirmed that the condition of the nation's winter wheat crop is continuing to worsen. Twenty-six percent of the crop is now rated poor to very-poor. This is a drop of two percentage points from the previous week.
In our region, Montana is fairing much better than the national average. Only 9{8a1275384cb93b18aa3d41af404144e37302a793dec468d70d54c97b65cfac05} of the winter wheat is seeing that poor to very-poor rating. South Dakota is far worse off than the national number with 64{8a1275384cb93b18aa3d41af404144e37302a793dec468d70d54c97b65cfac05} of the crop receiving that rating. Wyoming, as has been the case all fall, sits between those two states with 37{8a1275384cb93b18aa3d41af404144e37302a793dec468d70d54c97b65cfac05} of the crop rated poor to very-poor.
