Farm:

During the dry Soybean Harvest we had a Combine fire.

Due to good luck and a quick response from the Liberty Twp fire department and the dedicated repair techs from Truland John Deere, we were back harvesting in 3 days.

Harvest went “full go mode” due to the drought and heat in the summer and dry fall weather

Harvested all soybeans

One day to finish  corn this week.

Corn + Soybeans :

First planted soybeans are harvested and were a normal yield.

Last planted Soybeans are harvested and were about 10 bu/a less than normal.

Corn harvest yields have been really good, most farms were normal to better than normal.

Only 1 farm showed about 15 bu/a yield reduction from the drought.
