A few hours’ drive is all that separates the parched ground of western South Dakota from adequate rainfall along the state’s I-29 corridor. South Dakota farmer Keith Alverson has prepped fields to plant into cornstalks and says conditions are right for he and his neighbors to soon get corn in the ground.
“We picked up about an inch-and-a-half of rain here over the last couple of days,” Alverson told Brownfield Ag News Thursday.
