Harvest is underway on our farm. Corn yields have been surprisingly good for as little rainfall as we received this summer. We are focusing on our April 30 - May 2nd corn plantings as those fields have lower moisture content. The bushels from those fields we are drying down in our grain dryer. We are thankful to get started and very blessed to have good yields. The corn we have harvested we have dried down and then hauled out to railroad elevator locations to our South in Waverly. We sold quite a few bushels for a September delivery premium and as of today only have one more load to get delivered to satisfy our contracts. Saturday afternoon, we missed the rains that came through, so we switched the combine over to soybeans and cut about 25 acres that tested 12.8%. Yields from the soybeans were also surprising. Fall is officially here!
