Harvest resumes after weekend rains

Farmers in southeastern South Dakota are starting to resume harvest after the weekend rains.

Kevin Scott from Minnehaha County tells Brownfield the two inches of rain was needed.

“We needed it to moisten the soil back up so we can do some fall tillage and apply anhydrous for next year.”

Scott says he tried to harvest the most difficult corn fields before the rain came and he plans to be back in the field to harvest more corn by Tuesday.
