Andover, South Dakota farmer John Horter finished harvesting seed oats last week. “Conditions were wet when we planted, but all things considered, it’s been a good growing season with timely rains and good heat.” Horter planned to chop rye for silage, but when the crop needed to be chopped, conditions were too wet. Horter will now wait for corn silage. “I don’t plant a silage variety of corn. We take what’s ready when the custom harvesting crew is ready.”
