A farmer in southwestern Indiana is grinning ear to ear as harvest gets going.
Ethan Clarke of Washington says he’s currently rained out following a good stretch of dry weather that allowed him to knock out several acres of soybeans.
“I’ve been smiling a lot at the yield monitor this year. In fact, I actually called my seed dealer and said I needed the weigh wagon because I don’t think this thing is calibrated right because the yield monitor was showing some very high numbers that I’d never seen before.”
He tells Brownfield soybean yields have hit triple digits.
