Weather- There has been a little bit of a chill in the air to let us all know that the autumn season is upon us and winter is not far behind. Lows this week have been at or below freezing and highs in the 50's and 60's. There is a chance for rain this weekend and, although it will not help much for those trying to finish up harvest, it would not necessarily be a bad thing. We could use the moisture to help get winter wheat off to a good start.
Harvest- I think we have reached the point where there are more fields of small grains that are harvested than those that are not. Actually, with the string of days of good weather that we have experienced lately, there has been a good portion of crops taken off in just the last week or two. Some corn has been harvested for silage and that will continue to be the case in the coming weeks. Sugarbeet harvest will start next week at the experiment station and contracted growers will begin digging the week after that, weather permitting.
