Corn harvest is getting a later start than usual in southeast Missouri.
Nick Leopold, who farms a couple of miles north of the Arkansas border, just got the combine rolling, but climbed down from the cab for a few minutes to say he is pleased with the way his corn has dried down.
“I think the moisture’s probably around 13.5 to 14 percent,” Leopold told Brownfield Ag News. “It looks pretty good so far, which we’re just starting now.”
After the first round in a new corn field near the southeast Missouri town of Naylor, Leopold guessed the yield to be pushing 230 to 240 bushels to the acre.
