Harvest- Unfortunately, the weather last week did not cooperate with beet harvest. As was alluded to in an earlier post, warm daytime temperatures and an equipment issue at the plant lead to a stoppage in beet harvest. However, on Friday, October 7 harvest resumed and has been going strong ever since. In my estimation, about 30-40% of our beet acres have been harvested at this point.
Corn harvested for silage is all but wrapped up and grain harvest should begin before too much longer. Right now, corn, soybeans, and safflower are about the only crops we have left to harvest.
Weather- As I mentioned above, the weather this week has really helped with getting our beets harvested. We did receive some rain last Friday (10-7), but it did not amount to much, probably .25" or so average. This did allow for a good amount of moisture to get what winter wheat has been seeded started and provided additional moisture for those that are still planning on seeding the crop.
