Most of South Dakota’s soybeans are harvested, which is ahead of when they’d normally be finished. About seven of ten corn acres have been harvested. Ardon Wek of Freeman, South Dakota has almost all of his soybeans in the bin and he has about a third of his corn standing.
“I guess we’re pleased with the yields we’re seeing,” Wek told Brownfield Ag News, “40 and 50-bushel soybeans and 140 to 170-bushel corn.”
The USDA’s Ag Statistics Service says South Dakota’s Corn harvest is 71 percent complete, behind last year, but ahead of the 52 percent five-year average.
