Harvest season continues for local farmers.
Purdue Extension Agricultural Educator Phil Woolery says that when it comes to the major crops, farmers are just about done harvesting soybeans. Corn is taking a bit longer, though. “Looking back at our spring and summer, some of that was delayed,” Woolery says. “We had some wet and cold period during planting, and then we had some real cool weather in August, that kind of slowed the maturity down. So that kind of put harvest behind for some people, as well.”
At this point, Woolery says crop yields appear to be at their typical levels.
