Harvest has begun!

Harvest has begun at site! On Sunday, enough corn was harvested to make room for the tent or the draft horse stables. A few soybeans were harvested, the yields look pretty good on both corn and beans.

The 90 day corn was in the mid 20's moisture wise, and yielding between 120 and 150 bushels, making slow going for the 50 year old machines. The group 00 soybeans were coming out of the field at 15% moisture, and the yield looks very good. Keep in mind that these are short season hybrids and varieties planted very early to be ready in time for the show.
