South Dakota farmer waits for better planting conditions

A northeastern South Dakota farmer is one of many farmers waiting for better planting conditions. 

Ryan Wagner farms more than 45-hundred acres in the Roslyn area and says he’s a little behind where he’d like to be as May begins. “In early May, we would love to have had all of our spring wheat in by now and at least off to a good start on corn, and we just haven’t had any opportunity to do anything.”

Wagner is in an area of the state where they’ve had plenty of moisture, and he wished he could send some of that rain west where they need it.
