For the past 2 weeks soybean harvest has been stalled due to rainfall. There was a small amount of soybeans harvested early last week before it rained again. Yields on the early harvested fields ranged from 10 - 60 bus/acre. Most soybeans are reaching maturity or have reached maturity and are awaiting dryer weather for harvest. The forecast today calls for a week of warm sunny weather. We are hopeful this forescast holds up so that harvest can begin.
United States Crop Report - November 9, 2011
Harvest is @ 85% completed at this time. Some fairly large un-harvested areas exist in Southern, IL regions where rains and wet weather naggingly persist and are keeping fields and crops too wet. Temps are starting to fall with expected overnights in north and central midwest expected to be below the freezing mark. The year will end as consistantly as it has has been all season...we have the right weather at the wrong time. Early forecasts for 2012 indicate moisture could be slightly lower than 2011 which should allow for a good production year as long as moisture arrives in staggered and useable quantites.
