South Dakota wheat growers have seeded about 95 percent of their winter wheat so far. However, challenges remain with wet grounds many places for them to get it all wrapped up. South Dakota Wheat Commission Executive Director Reid Christopherson says what winter wheat is going to get planted is likely already in.

He says it’s been a difficult year for planting and harvest with the overabundance of moisture this year that actually began in the fall of 2018.

Christopherson says once the winter wheat planting is completed the amount of acres seeded will be similar to last year.

Christopherson says for those yet to complete their winter wheat planting or other crop harvesting to be safe out there and watch out for each other.
