Harvest Update From NE SD

Harvest is moving along quickly in northeastern South Dakota. Peever farmer Bob Metz is seeing solid soybean yields. “It is going great. We’ve got good weather, so things are moving along nicely,” said Metz. “Most of the guys are like in that mid-50s, some low 50s, and there’s some 40s, and then occasional 60 (bushels per acre,) but I would say that 45 to 55 catches just about everything.” Corn harvest is next on the list. “We’ve just had two beautiful weeks of drying down,” said Metz. “I hear some are in that 200 (bushel per acre) area; that’s a pretty darn good crop for our part of the world.”
