Richland County Crop/Weather report for the week of October 24

Except for corn for grain, soybeans, and some safflower here and there, harvest is complete!! For the most part, producers enjoyed a very timely and productive harvest, thanks to everything falling in line for a great year.

I believe that all of our winter wheat is in the ground now and a majority of that has emerged and is off to a good start. Moisture to get the wheat plant started was not an issue but the cold weather we received earlier this week may have caused some damage to emerging seedlings, time will tell.

Weather-The first measurable amount of snowfall fell earlier in the week. However, the snow fell before we experienced our coldest temperatures (lows around 0 in some parts) so hopefully it provided some insulation.
