Mitchell, South Dakota farmer Chet Edinger is managing what he calls a three-ring circus. “We wanted to have one crew on sunflowers, another on soybeans and one planting wheat, but the sunflowers were still wet. We swapped that machine over to corn. There are two machines harvesting soybeans and the moisture on the beans range from ten-to-13.5 percent.” Winter wheat seeding is more than halfway complete. “Every kernel of wheat we’re planting is in dusty, dry dirt. It’s not going to germinate until we get a rain.”
