South Dakota’s corn and soybean harvest is well ahead of last year. The state’s farmers have picked 39 percent of the corn crop, compared to only four percent at this time last year. Soybean combining is 82 percent complete, compared to only 11 percent a year ago.
Todd Hanten in the northeastern corner of the state has been in a good mood since he finished cutting soybeans this past week.
“It feels so good,” Hanten told Brownfield Ag News.
