Farmers Harvesting With Good Weather In MacGregor
Bright sunny conditions last week allowed MacGregor area farmers to advance harvest efforts. Many began wheat combining Thursday afternoon and continued through Monday, with oats and barley also yielding well though rain earlier reduced grain grades to around No 4. Yields near 40 bushels per acre in some wheat fields, flax partially harvested, and heavy after dark operations with multiple combines noted.
