From the Fields: The time is right

There is zero harvest activity in the area. I think the very earliest planted corn is getting close, but with the dry forecast, producers are probably taking advantage of in-field drying to get the moisture down so there’s not much drying expense. I would imagine next week it will ramp up.

This year, it looks like the very early corn will go out first and then the very early planted soybeans that are earlier maturities. Those will be ready in another week and a half, as well. Double-crop soybeans are always last, the very end of October, if we’re fortunate, but most likely in the first half of November we’ll harvest those.
