Indiana harvest update

Nice weather has helped progress harvest for one Indiana Farmer.  Bob Suiter farms in West Central Indiana and says the biggest challenge they’ve had on their farm this year is weather.  After battling the challenges of a wet spring, and numerous planting delays, he says the spring ended up long and drawn out and thought for sure harvest would be as well.

Suiter tells Brownfield with the recent weather they have been able to play catch up in the field.  As for the crop, he says it definitely has been better than they expected.  Suiter notes had this weather happened ten years earlier, yields would have been 100 bushels per acre less than they saw this year.  He says that is a testament to the genetics and the advancements in seed technology.

 

In the field we were at yesterday, corn was about 17 percent moisture and averaging 185 bu/acre.
