Soybean harvest is complete. There is some corn left in the field. Driving by the local grain elevator this afternoon I saw six semi-trucks in line to unload corn. Soybeans go directly to the soybean processing plant in Volga, ten miles away. The dry weather has dried the corn to make it safe for storage so artificial bin drying is not necessary. That saves both time and money. It also means that the corn is in better condition because bin drying negatively affects the quality of the corn.
It was a bit of a surprise to see trucks unloading at the elevator. Much corn has been piled on the ground so I assumed the elevator bins were full. Sinai boasts one of the few free standing elevators, because most have merged and consolidated.
Takk for alt,
