Although rain is currently falling, the past week provided an excellent opportunity to push forward with harvest progress. Soybean harvest now stands at 50% complete, and yields have been surprising good considering the lack of rainfall through the month of August. All soybeans harvested thus far have been Asgrow seedbeans, which are stored on-farm. Other farm activities have included fall tillage and hauling dry fertilizer into our storage.
