South Dakota farmer: storage is a premium
Gettysburg, South Dakota farmer Tregg Cronin tells Brownfield corn in the area is yielding 25 to 30 bushels above average. “It’s a very nice crop and the quality is great. Moisture is favorable and many farmers can go straight to the air bins or to the grain elevator. Storage is going to be a premium.” Cronin says most of the grain bins in the area are filling up and grain is being stored on the ground. He is delivering the corn to local ethanol plants. “Prices are relatively strong for most. Everyone is looking at the yields and price, thinking it’s not too bad straight off the combine out of the field. Farmers may market extra crops that way.” Photo credit: Tregg Cronin
