A western Kentucky farmer is expecting above average yields as harvest continues.
Sharon Furches of Murray tells Brownfield they began harvesting corn September 7th at around 22% moisture and because Mother Nature was kind to them this growing season, “We’re looking for a better than average corn crop right now and prices are good at this point in time. Those things rarely go together but this year they seem to be at least for this period of time.”
She says while there are soybeans being harvested in their area, they only plant later season soybean varieties, so combines won’t begin rolling in their bean fields for another 3-4 weeks.
