Todd Easton Coles County September 3, 2010: More and more combines came out through the week only to be stopped by believe it or not precipitation that began on Wednesday afternoon. Corn moisture is running a wide range but most producers are finding fields to harvest in the 17 to 20 percent range with grain quality that is pretty decent. Yield reports are highly varied and for the most part not very exciting. It sounds like this is a wide spread phenomenon and recent market action supports that theory. Soybeans are a week or more away from any possible harvest at least. Yield guesses for the crop are all over the place and are probably just guesses until the combines get into the fields. As I write this thunderstorms are occurring outside and may hold any further harvesting until at least mid weekend. Just goes to show that when you think you have the weather figured out it along comes a change in the pattern.
