STORM LAKE, Iowa (RFD News) — Weather remains a major focus for farmers as attention shifts from planting progress to crop conditions.
Dennis Reyman with the American Society of Farm Managers and Rural Appraisers joined us on Wednesday’s Market Day Report to discuss conditions in his region.
In his conversation with RFD News, Reyman said dryness remains a concern across much of the trade territory, particularly in parts of South Dakota and Nebraska.
“We certainly are dry. Our entire trade territory is either abnormally dry or, worse, especially as you move west and northwest into South Dakota and Nebraska. We need rain.”
Reyman also discussed recent declines in commodity prices and how much of the crop he believes remains to be sold.
In addition, he shared his outlook for land sale activity as the summer selling season begins and discussed land market trends so far in 2026.
Overall, the report suggests a shift toward more comfortable supply levels, with demand emerging as a key factor to watch in the months ahead.
