An agronomist says the soybean harvest in his area is mostly done, and the corn for grain harvest is about two-thirds finished. Scott Rountree with Pioneer in southwestern Wisconsin tells Brownfield the recent weather could have been a little better for drying down corn. “The wind definitely helps. Unfortunately, this past Sunday was cold and windy in which we really need that warmness to help drive away moisture from the ear, but definitely, we losing maybe about maybe a tenth of a point a day, something like that now as we head into the first week of November.”
Rountree says the corn quality remains mostly good.
