A northeastern South Dakota farmer is in the field after a couple of inches of rain. Spring wheat was in the week before Easter and the ground has just become fit to work for row crops, according to Jamie Johnson.
“We’re just starting corn today,” Johnson told Brownfield Ag News Wednesday. “Everybody’s just starting to get out and scratch stuff, the field conditions are looking really good and soil temperature’s coming up and I think everybody’s ready.”
Johnson, a no-till farmer with her husband Brian near the small town of Frankfurt, South Dakota, is not concerned about subsoil moisture depleted when a dry spell hit late last summer.
