Todd Easton Coles County October 1, 2010: The fall work season has hit its stride in the last week as producers are taking full advantage of the ideal conditions to get a lot of work done. Corn harvest is all but done and on average the yields were mediocre compared to the last couple years. Soybean harvesting seems to be nearing the halfway mark and bean yields turned out to be the pleasant surprise of the year. Many fields are yielding in the mid to upper 60’s and a few are making it over the 70 bushel mark. Along side the combines farmers and service companies are running tillage tools and spreaders hard and catching up on a lot of work that couldn’t get completed after the difficult season last year and getting everything in great shape for the 2011 crops.
