Harvest Operations Progressing Slowly Here
Harvest in this district is progressing slowly due to wet damp cool weather. Most teams are combining or swathing, but dew and cool nights slow work and hold progress until mid-morning. Grain delivery to local elevators is light and the few deliveries are reportedly tough. No frost yet, but grain grades of No 2 and No 3 prevail so far.
