The South Dakota Cooperative Extension Service is responding to the challenges crop and livestock producers face during the wet and slow harvest of 2009. This Web site offers a wide range of publications, news releases, and other information that can help producers facing delays in harvest or other issues stemming from heavy precipitation this fall. The site also provides links to Extension laboratories and other resources that can get science-based answers to producers’ questions.
