As farmers begin this year’s harvest it is becoming evident the prolong drought is having a major impact on crop yields.  Bon Homme County, South Dakota located in the south-central part of the state is an area that has not received much rain during the crop season.  Nick Kotalik is the location manager for the Kaylor-Parkston-Tabor Feed and Grain at Tabor.  He says corn and soybeans are just starting to be delivered to the local elevator, but early indications show a drastic cut in yield production.  Kotalik says this year’s production is far below the normal average.  Kotalik says the corn that has been harvested this year has had moisture levels at around 17 percent which can go into storage without the need for artificial drying.  He says the soybeans that have been delivered are yielding about 30 bushels to the acre.
