PARKER — The seagulls are circling, the ground is warming, and South Dakota farmers are back in the field.
Parker farmer Shane Merrill and his fellow corn and soybean enthusiasts are climbing on the tractor seats and turning unplanted acres into record production of corn, at least 400,000 more acres than last year’s 5.9 million, according to the recently released planting intentions report from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
