South Dakota State University Extension Agronomist Jonathon Kleinjan says winter wheat harvest is getting closer to wrapping up in the state. “I’ve heard mixed reports on yields; some poor yields and some pretty good yields from over 70-bushel wheat to areas like Oneida and Pierre that are below average.” Farmers are just dipping their toes into the spring wheat harvest in some areas. “We did take a field out here in eastern South Dakota that was about 60 bushels an acre, but I think overall the spring wheat crop is going to be down. There’s a lot of poor spring wheat with some acres being abandoned.”
