Flax Production in North Dakota - A1038
-
Flax production goes back to ancient history. Producers grow two types of flax: seed flax for the oil in its seed and fiber flax for the fiber in its stem. North Dakota is the leading producer of flax for oil and food use in the United States. Flax is an annual plant that has one main stem. Flax is a self-pollinated crop; usually is sown on the same type of land that grows wheat and barley.

Frequently Asked Questions About Subsurface (Tile) Drainage - AE1690
-
Installation of subsurface (tile) drainage systems in the upper Great Plains, especially the Red River of the North valley, has increased since the late 1990s. A wet climate cycle, along with increased crop prices and land values, are the major reasons this technology is being put to use. As a relatively new practice in this region, many questions are being asked about tile drainage.
This publication attempts to provide some answers.

From Garden to Table: My Potatoes Turned Green Now What? - A1768
-
Potato tubers turn green when they are exposed to sunlight during growth or storage. The green comes from the pigment
chlorophyll. Potato tubers exposed to light will become green naturally as the plant seeks to harvest the light.

Fusarium Yellows of Sugar Beet - PP1247
-
Fusarium yellows of sugarbeet was identified in the Red River Valley in a few fields between Moorhead, Minn., and Drayton, N.D., in 2002. Fusarium yellows is caused by the fungus Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. betae, although other Fusarium
species can be involved as secondary invaders. The disease causes significant reduction in root yield and
recoverable sucrose. In storage, the quality of infected roots may deteriorate more rapidly than in noninfected roots.

Grain Drying - AE701
-
Grain drying, as used in this publication, refers to the removal of some of the moisture from grain by mechanically moving air through the grain after it has been harvested. Grain in the field dries naturally as the crop matures, giving up mois-ture to the air until the grain moisture is in equilibrium with the moisture in the air (equilibrium moisture content). Conditions become less favorable for grain to dry to moisture contents considered safe for storage as the harvest is delayed into late fall.

Grain Stream Sampling and Sampler Construction - AE1044
-
Accurate grain sampling is equally important to both the producer and the buyer of grain. A grain sample is important because information from the sample is used to establish the quality characteristics and the value of the grain. Therefore, it is important that proper thought and attention be given to the method of collection, sample size, and frequency of sample collection per unit volume of grain.

Growing Lentil in North Dakota - A1636
-
An overview of lentil production for specialty crop producers, including weed control, diseases, harvesting and references. Lentil production in North Dakota primarily has been confined to the western part of the state because disease is an issue under higher moisture conditions. Lentil is an excellent rotational crop. Production of lentil or other legumes in a diverse cropping system may improve soil health, and provides for an opportunity to control problem weeds such as downy brome.
