Wet field conditions continue to hamper crop production in the Onida, South Dakota area. Oahe Grain location manager Tim Luken says the crops are a mixed bag. “Farmers got about 70 percent of the spring wheat put in and farmers went into June planting corn.” The recent heat gave the crop a boost. “Last year at this time our corn was waist high. We’ll be lucky to be ankle to mid-calf high this year,” says Luken. “The soybeans look normal for this time of the year. There will be lots of set-aside acres this year.”
