It's perfect weather for soybean harvest which has begun in earnest. The only weather event which would help would be a killing frost to decimate the green weeds. It's dry and warm with no heavy rains to cause the danger of getting stuck. The one yield report that I have heard was in the mid-sixties, which is excellent. Combines with 40 foot headers make quick work of fields.
The big dairies have been chopping corn for silage. Corn is still too wet to combine. Perhaps much of the soybeans will be harvested before farmers turn to corn harvest. It's a stretch of exceptionally fine weather. Locally harvested beans go to the soybean crush plant in Volga. That plant elevates the price farmers receive for their crop. It's a short haul to Volga which saves farmers on transportation costs.
