Farmers All Set for Corn Picking Comes from Several Counties
Special to The Gazette reports Fayette county fields near Eldorado and St. Lucas ready for general corn cribbing as weather allows. Silo filling is complete after September rains, soybean harvest is finished except for seed fields, and fall plowing is active. Rowley notes soybeans nearly harvested with best quality in five years and hybrid corn widespread. Washington farmers wait for frost while yielding 45 bushels per acre on average, with some 85 to 90 bushels possible. Maquoreta moisture tests show 27 to 35 percent, and the season’s drying weather supports an unusually high corn yield with pastures in good condition.
