RED RIVER FARM NETWORK: Corn Almost Ready to Harvest in South Dakota

Corn harvest is just a handful of days out in the Winner, South Dakota area. South Dakota Corn Growers Association Secretary/Treasurer, Trent Kubik, says they were expecting a really good crop until heat stress bumped a few bushels. “I still think we’ll have an above-average crop even with it being touch and go for a little bit. But it’s dry enough that we may try dry corn at the end of this week.” Most of the area’s silage corn was chopped the week leading up to Labor Day. “A lot of neighbors are pretty well finished up with silage chopping.”
