Harvest is ahead of the normal pace, with a few farmers almost done. Some fall tillage is also underway. This past week brought very good harvest weather. We had warm temperatures, which helped the corn dry down two to three points since the week before. Also, a lot of beans were cut with the low humidity and warm temperatures.
Corn is still a little above average in yield, while the soybeans are a little below average.
As I write this report, we are getting some rain and that is expected to last through Friday. Harvest is ahead of the normal pace, with a few farmers almost done. Some fall tillage is also underway. The harvest weather has been so good, I didn't even take time to send a report in last week's FarmWeek. Bean harvest is wrapping up, with nearly 90 percent complete.
