Not that you may care but here’s my first photo that’s been edited with iPhoto and uploaded with Transmit3 from my Mac. I’m starting to get the hang of it. iPhoto just doesn’t let me fully format the image for the web though but it works don’t you think? These are the winners of the North Dakota Grain Growers Association, Spring Wheat Yield Contest. They would like to:

. . . congratulate Gary Heyerdahl, Griggs County (pictured left), Stuart & Katie Dilse, Slope County (pictured center) and Craig Dewald, Kidder County (pictured right) for winning in their district. Each took home a Honda Rancher 4X4 on March 8th and every participant who entered will be receiving a Carhart or Columbia jacket.

The winning variety from the west, NDSU’s Reeder was planted on pea ground using no-till and fertilized with Urea at 217 lbs per acre. The winning variety from central ND, AgriPro’s Knutson was planted on soybean ground with minimal till and fertilized with 60 lbs per acre of 1152 at seeding, and 140 lbs of Urea. The winning variety from the east, AgriPro’s Kelby was planted on pinto bean ground with conventional tillage and fertilized with 98 lbs of Anhydrous in the fall and 80 lbs of 1152 during seeding.
