There's a good chance the turkey on their plates was grown right here.

Turkeys aren't native to South Dakota. In fact, early settlers probably had to settle for pheasants, deer or some other wild game for Thanksgiving meals. And the state isn't known for its turkey production, but South Dakota ranks 20th in the nation in raising the gobblers. That amounts to about 1.5 million turkeys last year, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

"We produce enough turkey to feed 30,240,000 people. In more colorful terms, it's enough to feed a Thanksgiving turkey dinner to everyone in this region South Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Nebraska, North Dakota, Kansas, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri and Illinois," said Phil Plumart, extension poultry specialist at South Dakota State University in Brookings. That's a lot of gobbler. The turkey king for years, however, was Minnesota, which produced 25.7 million birds in 1981. North Carolina became the nation's No.

1 turkey grower last year, producing 26.8 million turkeys. Turkey isn't people's favorite meat. For example, the USDA said the per capita consumption of turkey nationwide last year was a paltry 10.7 pounds, compared to the average 103.8 pounds of beef devoured by a typical American in 1981. Turkey is widely recognized as an economical meat, but most people still only roast the birds at Thanksgiving or Christmas. In South Dakota, turkeys were a $13.8 million business last year.

Codington County is the most prolific producer of turkeys in South Dakota, and Water-town, the county seat, hosts the state's only turkey processing plant, Dakota Poultry. Manager Herb Jenson, who Is also Watertown's mayor, said about 700,000 turkeys were raised in Codington County last year almost half the state's total production. Jenson said his company also gets much of its turkey from seven Hutterite colonies in eastern South Dakota. And if you don't want a turkey that's been skinned, trussed, frozen and packaged, you can still shoot your own bird in some parts of the state. Wild turkeys, which were introduced to the state, can be hunted in the spring and fall in 13 counties, 10 west of the Missouri River and three east of the river.

State's corn harvest finally in full swing SIOUX FALLS (AP) Eastern South Dakota's corn harvest is finally in full swing. Just ask John Brown of the Corson elevator.

"We've just been busier than heck." Brown said Tuesday. "They (farmers) were still coming in here at 2:30 in the morning. We were dumping grain after that. The grain dryer ran around the clock. During the day, the lines just don't stop." Brown worked 36 straight hours this week as farmers lined up to bring in their grain which had been mired in mud and snow.

Tuesday night, Brown was still working and said there was no time to get tired. The pace picked up because snow melted, the temperature plunged and the ground froze hard enough to support combines and corn pickers. Farmers who were waiting in line for hours at elevators to dump their new crop said they want the cold weather to stay. "If it gets warm, we will be right back to where we were," said Lee Ode, a Brandon farmer. "Thanksgiving used to be the goal to get the corn harvest done," said farmer Clarence Carlson of Corson, "but this year instead of getting done, some guys are just getting started." Chuck Slocum, a Brookings farmer, said he needs another 10 days to get his harvest done.

He said he's still still worried about driving in some parts of his fields, which are just now freezing up enough to support heavy machinery. "There are still some places I am scared to even try to get into," he said. "I've heard of too many neighbors getting their combines stuck." Farmers say the snow hasn't affected their corn very much.
