SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) - Soil moisture supplies appear in good shape in South Dakota as the spring planting season approaches.
The Agriculture Department says in its monthly crop report that topsoil moisture supplies in the state are rated 99 percent adequate to surplus, and subsoil moisture is 97 percent in those categories.
The state’s winter wheat crop also looks to be in good shape, with only 3 percent of the crop rated less than fair.
The March report is the last monthly report. Weekly reports begin next week.
