Fall has fallen, but rain has not!

           When I reported the soybean price at the Volga Soybean plant the other day I gave the non-GMO price which is higher than the GMO price. Today's GMO price in Volga is $13.81 which is still good. That should provide profit to local farmers even with significantly reduced yields. 

        The weather is certianly fall like with night time temperature dropping into the 40s and daytime highs in the mid-60s. Rain? It would certainly be good for the grass and trees. Subsoil moisture is depleted and needs recharging before next growing season. On the other hand this dry weather is ideal for harvest. There are now large piles of beans on the ground at the Volga Soybean plant awaiting crushing to extract the oil. With multiple unloading sites truckers are not having to wait long to unload. A few corn fields on sandy ground have been harvested but I haven't heard anything about the yield.

Takk for alt,
