Having left The Little House on the cusp of harvest I've been wondering what is happening. With a telephone call from a local farmer I received one report about harvest. He said his soybeans were yielding about 60 bushels an acre. That's good! The only down side he said was that they were too dry, testing at 9% moisture. That can cause some shattering in harvesting.
With that moisture report it makes me wonder about the moisture content of corn. This warm spell likely means that corn will be dry enough to bin without needing additional drying. That's a significant cost saving for producers.
