Finished up with corn harvest last week. It was a bit of a limp to the finish as the shaker frame in our combine broke at the side rail. So, that will be a major repair this offseason. Overall corn ended up 5-10% over average for us, which we were happy with. It seems like every year over the past five years has given us unprecedented weather, and this year was no different. I think that the old adage "rain makes grain" still holds true, especially in corn, but warmer summers will continue to force farmers to evaluate their disease management plans. At this time, the biggest things we are evaluating for next year are how we can improve our speed of planting and if maturity boundaries can continue to be pushed to the later side in both crops.
