Harvest is sneaking up on some Iowa farmers.
Corey Hillebo, who grows corn and soybeans near Polk City in central Iowa, says crops are maturing quickly.
“Corn is coming along faster than I’d like to see it. I’ve been seeing Group 2 and earlier beans already starting to turn (color). So two to three weeks out if you’ve got an earlier than Group 2 bean, you might be seeing some leaves on the ground and seeing some ready for harvest.”
He doesn’t expect corn harvest to really get going until the end of September.
