‘Ideal Planting Conditions’ in SE ND

Farmers in southeastern North Dakota are making strong strides with spring planting. At Oakes, Scott German shared that the heavy, wet snow last month came at the perfect time, providing much-needed moisture. “I don’t remember planting conditions as good as they are right now,” German said. “We’ve got great topsoil moisture. We’re not fighting a bunch of potholes and sloughs like we’ve had over the last how many years.”
