An early rain event put a halt on harvest progress in parts of South Dakota. Colton, South Dakota farmer Jeff Thompson is trying to finish up soybean harvest this week. “The sandier soils were almost at average yields, but the other fields range from mid 40s to 60s.” Thompson says corn is up next on the list as long as the weather cooperates. “Too much hot, dry, and windy conditions just made the dust terrible out here.”
