It’s been a wet spring and summer in south central North Dakota. While Gackle farmer and rancher Warren Zenker got some crop in the ground, there are a substantial amount of prevent plant acres. Zenker plans to plant cover crops on some of those acres and take advantage of the earlier haying and grazing date. “Millet has already been planted on some of the ground. We’re going to try and get in some sorghum to chop and maybe some more millet,” says Zenker. However, Zenker adds the difficult part right now is seed supply. “With demand being as great as it’s been, it hard to find. It’s not just in North Dakota. There are a lot of ranchers in South Dakota and Nebraska also in the same situation.”
