Muddy Fields Slow Harvest as Farmers Aid Effort
In a muddy field near the Franklin County Sale Barn two four wheel drive combines pressed to salvage grain after repeated heavy rains stalled harvest. Roger Keith estimates about 20 percent loss. Richard and Raymond Dunn lent heavy equipment to prevent total loss, arguing they could not harvest their own fields. The mud hid topsoil and some spots may remain unharvested, but the effort continues with more than 50 loads collected Tuesday as a feed base is planned for the Co op.
