Harvest is picking back up in Ohio

Harvest started out in full speed for central Ohio farmer Allen Ett in September – but when the calendar turned to October that all changed.  “It kind of turned on us a little bit,” he says.  “We’ve been fighting rain like everyone else, I assume.  It’s been slow on the bean harvest – which is not the way it typically is the first half of October – so we’ve been concentrating on corn.”

And, Ett says, yields are good.  “The early planted corn, and I say early for this year, the corn that was planted April 23-25, was extremely good for our area,” he says.  “Most of our farms were over 200, up to 225.”

He tells Brownfield they are inching closer to finishing harvest – with less than 100 acres left of corn and around 250 acres of soybeans to finish.
