A Michigan farmer says harvest is on hold until crops are drier.
Matt Frostic tells Brownfield moisture content for corn and soybeans in his area is too high.
“When you get into group two soybeans, they’re still standing in the field,” he shares. “I would say that’s probably 60 to 70% of the crop in our area. Corn—guys have tried to harvest some, the lowest moisture readings I’m hearing is 30% on up to off the charts.”
The Thumb-area farmer says disease pressure is increasing while farmers wait for dry down.
