A South Dakota farmer says a lot of hope for his crops has evaporated with the increasing heat and southerly winds.
Trent Kubik, who grows crops and raises cattle in south-central South Dakota (Lyman and Tripp Counties), tells Brownfield the dryness in June had them on alert but they got several rains in July with things looking up until August when the heat ramped up quickly.
“Since Saturday, the last four days and we’re staring at the next two days, we’ve hit 100 (degrees) about every day with about 20 mile an hour south winds.
