South Dakota Farmer Builds a $1,000 Mobile Workshop

Equipment is typically brought to the shop for repairs, but challenges arise when maintenance is needed in the field or on buildings, where tool portability is essential. “It’s not like I can bring my barn into the shop and fix it,” said Todd Intermill, who raises corn, soybeans, and alfalfa in southeast South Dakota. To address this challenge, he mounted a service body on his F450, but it left no space for carpenter tools, equipment parts, or supplies.

Farmers Delay Harvest For Late Season Rain

(Sioux Falls, SD) — South Dakota farmers are waiting for land to dry out after some late season rain. After a dry growing season, fields were filled with rain just as farmers were hoping to start harvesting. Now farmers in Lennox, Valley Springs and other locations throughout the state say the fields are too wet to start collecting yields. Farmers say that agriculture production is never “a guaranteed thing.” Most are now hoping that the fields will dry out enough so that grain doesn’t start dropping off stalks and soybeans don’t start to mold or germinate. Farmer Jordan Scott of Valley Springs tells Keloland “if you’re not complaining about the weather, you’re not farming.”
