Oahe Grain Cooperation General Manager Tim Luken says the winter wheat harvest in South Dakota was delayed by rain. “There was a big storm south of here with hail and a decent amount of rain.” Winter wheat protein is surprisingly good, but yield is down. “Quality was a mixed bag, but test weights are averaging a 58.5. Yields are anywhere from 20-to-40 bushels an acre so it’s definitely not going to be a bin buster. We’re normally around that 60–to-70 bushel range so we’re getting half of a winter wheat crop.”
