Harvest Weather Predominates as Rock Valley Farmers Race to Harvest
Farmers across Rock Valley work long hours in favorable harvest weather to gather corn and soybeans. Extensions director Maurice Eldridge notes early corn for cribbing and silage dominates, with yields around 100 bushels per acre for corn and up to 50 for soybeans.
