Harvest finish line within sight for Kansas farmer
Read
A northeast Kansas farmer says a window of warmer weather should help him wrap up harvest.
Scott Gigstad says he has about a week left on corn and is optimistic he can finish before the weather changes again. “It’s been plenty wet. I don’t like being in the field in these conditions. I also know we’re approaching the middle of November and it sounds like we have another storm system approaching near Thanksgiving.”
As for soybeans, he finished a couple of weeks ago and had lots of discolored soybeans, but “When you peeled back the outer seed coat, they were nice and yellow on the inside. We did not have any issues and didn’t get a discount when we took them to the elevator.”
The USDA says 78 percent of soybeans have been harvested, and 88 percent of corn is in.
