Harvest thoughts
Excuse me for the lack of updates lately, I hope to post more things as we get into the winter months. So far harvest has been a nice surprise. Considering the conditions that we were dealing with this spring, the yields are quite good. Beets of course still under way but those hurt early are down a little and those not hurt too bad are yielding pretty well if rainfall was decent. Dry Beans were for the most part phenominal. Quite a few reports of 30+ bag beans. Corn is very nice if you were in the few rain belts that came thru however there were definite pollination/kernal abortion issues resulting in 10 bushel minimum loss in some areas. As we are later than the past few years it seems down corn is a problem this year with certain varieties but we did experience some windy days that hurt alot. Please be careful as you continue this harvest season. More on nitrogen and some sugar beet thoughts later.
