Cooperative weather this growing season has a central Illinois farmer optimistic heading into harvest.
“We are going to have very good yields. I don’t know if we will have record yields but we are going to be good, in particular on corn.”
Fifth generation farmer Len Corzine tells Brownfield he hopes to begin harvesting corn near Assumption, IL within two weeks because, “There are some early harvest incentives in regards to drying charges and maybe some premiums for early delivery.”
But he says nothing has black layered yet, so it will depend on how much sunlight the crop gets.
