South Dakota State University Extension State Climatologist Laura Edwards says the Aberdeen airport only measured .11 of moisture in September. “Most of central and eastern South Dakota had less than 25 percent of their average moisture for September.” It’s a turnaround from the spring when it was a time of too much moisture and prevent plant. “We aren’t replenishing soil moisture we’ve used throughout the season to grow the crop. We could be starting the next growing season with drier conditions than we’d like to see.”
