Good Spots and Bad Spots

Harvest is nearly complete across northeastern South Dakota. Peever area farmer Louie Nigg says yields were average. “Well, there’s a lot of good spots and a lot of bad spots, and I think we ended up probably with the average crop,” said Nigg. “The good spots were the hilly spots in the field that had good drainage, and the bad spots were the ones where all the water ran.” Soybean yields were more limited this fall. “I’d say that was probably a below average of probably high 40s for averages down in this area.”
