Ideal fall work and harvest in Moravia area
Ideal fall weather fuels rapid grading progress on the Moravia Unionville road as a construction firm deploys heavy equipment. Farmers report widespread soybean harvest completion and much corn stored in bins, with one local farmer nearly finished with fall plowing by mid October. An area apple crop is strong with efficient Mexican pickers earning 29 cents per bushel plus a 2 cent bonus for full-picking crews. Sunday’s drive reveals subdued fall color but a relaxed, unhurried pace as the region enjoys a mild Iowa day.
