Farmer says corn yields are below average  

Southern Indiana Farmer Ben Kron says his corn yields are below average.

“I was kind of shocked by that,” he says. “They’re running about 40 bushels under what we thought they would be, so that’s pretty substantial.”   

He tells Brownfield soybean yields are variable.

“Our bean yields are kind of all over the place. Some fields are good, some fields are average, and some are a little below average. So, I guess that works out as an average,” he says. “The soybean yields are interesting, and we haven’t been able to target anything down to that as to why. I would give everything a slightly below average rating right now.”  

Kron says harvest is about 50 percent complete.
