The farmers arc going full tilt. Most of the oats is in, and some com. We still have com to pick from last year; the ground docs not dry up quickly in com fields. Unharvested soybean fields arc another matter. Somehow, the straw must be broken up before cultivation. One way is to turn the combine over the field and let the beans fall out on the ground. The beans arc immature and mouldy. Only about 15% of them even look good, and those arc not always always dry inside. Weather can really give problems!
