There’s been some drought relief in parts of South Dakota over the past month but some areas are worse. State Climatologist Laura Edwards during the SDSU Extension Drought Hour on Monday says conditions have improved for farmers in those areas where it has rained.
“We’ve seen some improvements in crop condition as far as the late season soybeans go, in particular. Some areas got a fourth cutting of alfalfa. Things like that, over the last month.”
Edwards says water for livestock is still a struggle, though, even in areas where drought has improved.
