South Dakota farmers deal with drought, drain tiles
South Dakota Farmers Union Communications Dir. Chris Studer
It may seem like contrasting issues. South Dakota farmers have just come off a severe drought and are worried about it continuing, but yet they’re also dealing with how best to maintain the productivity of land through proper drainage management. “It’s interesting that we’ve experienced a drought, but we’re talking about water issues that we’ve had over the last four, five, ten years,” said Chris Studer, Communications Director at the South Dakota Farmers Union. Studer is referring to the necessity of draining lands that hold too much water in order to make them farmable.
