A southeastern South Dakota farmer says about 500 acres of his crops have been damaged by the weekend storm that rolled through.
Dave Poppens tells Brownfield they got four to six inches of rain, high winds and a small tornado that came through Saturday night.
“We were very fortunate right in this area. I mean we have quite a few fields that had potential for 200 plus yields and then that storm hit and it kind of just hits you in the gut – you might not get much of anything after that.”
Poppens’ crops were looking good before the storm, he says, because of good rains in July and August.
