The cooler than normal July in South Dakota may have been a blessing in disguise for the state’s farmers. State Climatologist Dr. Dennis Todey says those lower temperatures kept the corn crop from burning up.
Todey says crop conditions vary depending in what part of the state you’re located. Todey is most worried about crops in Northern South Dakota.
He says it’s too early to predict if South Dakota will see an early frost.
Todey says some people may be harvesting higher moisture corn so it’s probably a good idea to lock in propane prices now.
