Crop Report hints at slow seeding and favorable grass outlook
The crop bulletin from the Government Weather Bureau in Huron covers South Dakota for the week ending May 2. It notes cloudy skies with frequent rain and cold, frost each morning, and below average temperatures. Rain and snow were below normal east of the Missouri River, with fertility concerns in the Black Hills. Seeding of oats, wheat, and barley is only partially finished, grass is sprouting, bottom lands remain too wet, and while grain rot reports exist, they are not widespread. Warm weather and sun are seen as much needed, and the wheat crop is not expected to suffer late-season losses, though acreage may shrink. The overall grass prospects look excellent with upcoming warmth and sunshine.
