Default RE: Corn harvest in west central Illinois

Look to see farmers running very hard from here on out. MOST of the corn I've been seeing is very close if not ready to be shelled. A lot of beans are ready also, with the exception of a few fields that were obviously planted very late due to the wet spring.

So far, the harvest is maybe around 10-15%, but don't let that be misleading. Most guys are going to be in overdrive due to the fact that with every day that goes by, the possibility of lower harvest volumes goes up. Look to see a huge amount of fields being pulled in the next 10 days. Unfortunately, many of the fields that are running late are in low lying areas, or near creekbeds that recieved a lot of water runoff, which can be a negative for deer hunters for a little while.

The harvest is a little late, but I don't think that it will be as late as some estimates.
