Harvest Under Wet Conditions Delays Storage In Ohio County
Harvest began in southern Franklin and northern Anderson counties with grain sorghum yielding 100 to 140 bushels per acre and corn 90 to 160 in dryland fields. The Richmond elevator has stored 50 000 bushels of milo and 10 000 bushels of corn, but storage is tight due to 80 000 bushels of CCC grain and last year’s stock. A new bunker at Williamsburg will hold about 205 000 bushels of milo to ease warehousing.
