Harvest 2020 begins...

We started our 2020 harvest last Wednesday, September 16th - the exact same date we began last year. Corn moisture's were high when we started, but have finally dropped into the 18-21% range as of today. We have even harvested a few of our nonGMO soybean fields that were planted the first week of April. Yields have been good on corn, but below our last several years production. Despite zero rain in August, soybeans have been a nice surprise, but they also haven't exceeded any records either. We had a good run of 11 days straight of harvesting. Last night's half inch rains were welcomed for us to get caught back up on office work, maintenance and gather our plans for the next run of harvest. Be safe!
