A Nebraska agronomist says farmers in his state have welcome the recent late-season rains.
Channel’s Tyler Vreugdenhil says the precipitation, combined with the accumulation of growing degree units (GDUs) has been good news for farmers. “The corn crop is finishing really nicely and fast,” Vreugdenhil says. “In some areas, the rain we got as of late was too late for a lot of the dryland fields but is significantly impacted the test weight and seed size particularly in soybeans.”
He tells Brownfield harvest looks promising.
