Bins Full in Wake of Fastest Corn Harvest in Two Decades
Iowa reports the fastest corn harvest in twenty years raising storage pressures. Hawkeye Cooperative piles shelled corn in the street to relieve space as a 300000 bushel elevator runs full. About 80 to 90 percent of the Fayette county crop is gathered with shipments planned as boxcars open. Farmers Savings bank lot in Kalona doubles as a grain depository amid rapid arrivals.
