By the time the calendar flew past mid-November most folks were at a loss to explain how we arrived there so quickly. It seems like just yesterday it was summer. Maybe part of the reason for that feeling is that the past two months have been mostly very mild with average temperatures several…

What a difference a few short weeks can make. Halfway through September, drought had all but disappeared from Wisconsin. A few weather prognosticators were talking about something called a flash drought hitting parts of Minnesota and Wisconsin, but most wrote off those predictions.

Fall harvest is in full swing in western Wisconsin, with beans as the leading crop this week, and a few fields of corn leaving the field. We have some interesting observations as the machine work unfolds.

Farmers are busy, but without a lot going on in the fields. Many of them are preparing equipment for the big push. Combines were spotted rolling on a farm in our valley of western Wisconsin. Kaleb Ellis reports that his combine is ready to go and will start on beans in a week at the earliest.
