Dakotafest got started two hours late on Tuesday due to a large rain system that moved through the area. Many farmers at the show were glad to see the rain. “There were definitely some areas that really needed it,” said Matt Hofer, an independent sales representative for Stine Seeds at Mitchell, South Dakota. Corn conditions vary. “Some spots look really great but as a field average it’s hard to say.” Hofer feels the soybeans in the region have a lot of potential.
