Crop insurance deadlines are coming up quickly, but with the current wet conditions in South Dakota, there is some good news.
The South Dakota Agriculture Department will grant extensions for applications to farmers concerned about harvesting by December 10. The USDA Risk Management Agency may grant extra time for those who cannot complete their fall harvest by deadline due to weather conditions.
Bill Even, state agriculture secretary, said those concerned about the deadline need to contact their agents to report losses and ask for more time to protect crop insurance.
Officials suggest farmers document all weather conditions and all actions taken to receive accurate claim payments.
