Southeastern South Dakota farmer and American Soybean Association President Kevin Scott says recent storms damaged corn in his area.
“We have a decent crop growing we recently received a lot of rain— 5 and a half inches of rain and a lot of wind,” he says. “We have some corn that’s down.”
Scott says he knows another farmer south of Sioux Falls who had about 500 acres of downed corn.
“We’re trying to find out whether that needs to be chopped or if he can pick it up or if it’s going to be an insurance issue,” he says.
