Southeastern South Dakota farmer Dave Poppens looks forward to harvest but will have a longer wait on his farm near Sioux Falls.

“A lot of the beans were planted after the first of June,” said Poppens, “but the earlier variety beans, with the warmer weather we had last week, I think we probably could have got started [with harvest] on a couple of fields this week if we wouldn’t have had the rain.”
There’s less rain in other areas.
