South Dakota Faces Worst Small Grain Failure Says Borum
In a crop review from Brookings on July 1, USDA official C. J. Borum warns of the worst small grain failure in South Dakota history due to grasshopper damage, heat, and drought. He notes widespread infestations, significant corn and oat losses, with many fields abandoned or pastured, and provides detailed yield projections for corn, oats, barley, durum wheat, spring wheat, rye, flax, and potatoes, plus farm grain stocks and wages.
