A nearly perfect week for fieldwork has South Dakota farmers nearly finished with harvest work.
Ninety-two percent of the state’s corn is harvested, which is well ahead of last year’s wet harvest and the 69% five year average.
Ninety-five percent of the sorghum and 74% of the sunflowers are harvested.
Half of South Dakota’s winter wheat crop is in good condition, with 6% excellent and 35% fair. USDA reporters say 91% of the winter wheat crop has emerged.
