South Dakota Wheat Commission Executive Director Reid Christopherson says some of the spring wheat that is already planted is in the south-central part of the state, an area that doesn’t typically grow much spring wheat. “Much of that spring wheat was dormant seeded in February. In other cases, spring wheat seeding began, serious winds hit and farmers stopped. Overall, most of our spring wheat region is still too dry and would welcome a rain. The very northeast corner of South Dakota is too wet.” Dryness is a story for South Dakota’s winter wheat, too. “Everything would be improved with rain.”
