As Mother Nature forces many of us into a slowdown this week, we do have a lot to be thankful for. All in all, the conditions for harvest were ideal. Yes, we would like to see more rain, but when you need to be able to just keep plugging away, Mother Nature has indulged us.
Iowa Ag Secretary Mike Naig talks about harvest progress, weather conditions, and the seasonal outlook overall. He says you couldn’t have asked for a smoother period to get things done.
Naig says that many farmers have said they could use a forced break from Mother Nature. Getting more rain will be welcomed, as is the time to take care of things that require some time out of the combine.
We hope for a continued smooth finish to the harvest season. Please be safe as you try and race Mother Nature.
