An agronomist says some of the corn crop is approaching black layer in west central Illinois, so he expects harvest to begin in a couple of weeks.
Todd Steinacher is with AgriGold covering an area from St. Louis to the Quad Cities over to Decatur.
“In some of those areas, especially with earlier maturing hybrids, I would say in the next week or so we are going to be pretty darn close to black layer.”
He tells Brownfield most fields are starting to pull the milk line down and he is seeing a lot of firing coming up with the warm temperatures.
