Waterlogged Fields

Parts of northeastern South Dakota received up to eight inches of rain from a large, slow-moving storm late in the week. Dairyland Seeds District Sales Manager Keith Rekow says northeast South Dakota was hit the hardest. “East of my house, there are probably ten acres out of 65 that have water standing, flooding with water coming across.” Rekow says the rain is appreciated. “As dry as we were, it’s beneficial overall. I’ve had to haul water to the pasture cattle because the creeks were dry and no snow runoff so we’re thankful for it.”
