South Dakota Wheat Commission Executive Director Reid Christopherson says temperatures up to 90 degrees contributed to enormous snow melt this past week and in some places, spring wheat planting is underway. “We went from winter to summer in 48 hours, so it certainly is the land of infinite variety. One of our commissioners from Ideal, South Dakota was in the field planting spring wheat.” Christopherson says the wet conditions in northeastern South Dakota is keeping growers out of the field.
