Soybean harvest is about 40 percent complete in the Frederick, South Dakota area. Frederick Seed owner Rich Achen says yields are variable, depending on planting conditions. “Some yield are average, while others are maybe more above average. Anything that was planted on marginal ground is more disappointing, in the 30 bushel per acre range.” Some of the early-maturing corn is being harvested as well. Moisture levels are in the 18-to-20 percent range. “There are not a lot of big acres coming off yet, but it won’t be long any more farmers are rolling. I don’t have any concerns with test weights this year, and yields should be very respectable.” Achen has more in this full RRFN interview.
