Harvest is in full swing across the area, with most farmers having taken off some corn, soybeans or a mix of both. Corn yields are proving variable and, overall, not on par with last year’s crop, while moisture levels are unusually low — ideal for fast harvest but reflective of the season’s dryness at the end. Plant health on corn remains my No. 1 concern. Early maturing soybeans are showing good potential, though rain delays have limited how much has been cut so far. Spotty showers have passed through without much impact, and the region continues to experience dry conditions.
