Spring wheat harvest is underway for Wilmot, South Dakota area farmers. Jason Frerichs says they’ve seen decent yields. “We’d like to see things be a little bit better, but again, that wheat goes on those more marginal acres and it was planted in the middle of April. It was refreshing to have those acres in when we looked at all of the rain we received in May.” Though Frerichs didn’t plant any winter wheat last year, he plans to later this year. “We had some prevented planting acres, about 15 percent of our farm. We’ll look to put a little winter wheat in those areas that we didn’t put a cover crop on.”
