In Richland County, sugarbeets and corn for grain are about all that is left to harvest. Those who were planning on seeding winter wheat have that crop in the ground and it should be off to a good start. Beet harvest is going well as the weather has now cooperated and allowed farmers to get in their fields and harvest all day.
Corn for silage is all wrapped up and corn that will be harvested as grain has just begun. Hay producers are weighing the options of whether or not to take a last cutting, graze, or just let it be. We have had a few nights of frost, but not a good killing frost as of yet.

Beet harvest has started
Beet harvest has gotten off to a slow/warm/wet start. Harvest started in earnest earlier this week but due to warm weather early in the week and now rain with more rain forecasted, there has not been a full day of harvesting. Hopefully conditions will improve next week.
Corn harvested for silage has more or less completed and it won't be long until corn for grain harvest begins. It appears as though the crop should fare pretty well.
