South Dakota farmer pleased with soy harvest

North-central South Dakota farmer Troy Hadrick says his soybean harvest has wrapped up and yields are better than expected.

“We had really good moisture this summer and even into the late summer and early bit of fall,” he said. “Our soybeans ran really good, pushing 55-to-60 bushels, which is excellent for us.”

He tells Brownfield he’s had a few harvest delays this fall. “There’s been several days where the wind has been blowing so hard,” Hadrick said. “It’s just too scary of a situation to go out there and try to combine, or really do too much of anything, for fear of starting a fire.”

Hadrick farms near Faulkton.
