In some areas, the 3rd cut hay yields are about average, but in most areas it remains quite a bit below average. In Renfrew, there has been good regrowth on several alfalfa stands. The grain has dried down a lot in the past week, but most stalks are still quite green. To date, corn silage for bunkers, stacks or to be bagged has been harvested. Still a lot of silage yet to be harvested.
Maturity ranges from fields that have dropped all their leaves to fields that are still green.
The colour in some fields ranges from total leave drop to plants that are green and just beginning to pod fill. Some plants have lodged within some fields, but most are standing well. The unevenness of maturity in the soybeans will hold harvest until after a frost and will result in some green and uneven sized soybeans. The decision when to harvest corn silage is still difficult due to the unevenness of corn maturity. Report not available.
