The canola harvest in North Dakota is in full swing with continued reports of excellent yields. Canola growers have reported good canola yields in North Dakota, with typical results of 2,200-2,600 pounds per acre with some reports as high as 3,000. Canola quality is not an issue as more than 90 percent of the crop is rated No. 1 canola. There have been some reports of late season feeding by several insect pests, but those reports have been very limited.

The garden is really producing now and I need to make time to start making salsa again to use up the veggies we are getting. Grasshoppers have been really working on the end rows of our corn. They are really bad this year. We are done irrigating corn and running some passes on a bean field or two and we can shut those things down for the summer.

Fall bird migration has begun, and now is the time to review and reimplement biosecurity protocols to reduce disease transmission from wild to domestic birds. Highly pathogenic avian influenza is a disease carried by wild birds that can affect domestic birds. Avian influenza is caused by the influenza Type A virus. The virus is shed in the feces and respiratory secretions of infected birds and is able to survive for weeks in cool damp environments.
