South Dakota farmer talks crop yields, weed management

A farmer in southeast South Dakota is encouraged by yields as harvest continues.

Mitch Mehlhaf of Menno grows corn, soybeans, and works as a crop advisor and seed rep for Pioneer.

“Better yields on both corn and soybeans (compared to) the last couple years in southeast South Dakota. Very much above APH yields on corn, and ten percent or so above APH yields on soybeans.”

He tells Brownfield weed control has been a point of emphasis for farmers dealing with drought conditions the past few years.
