There’s not much time left until harvest season will be upon us in Iowa, and the crops in the southwest part of the state are still looking great. SW Iowa Beck’s Agronomist Nate Meyer said he’s expecting a bumper crop for both corn and soybeans this year.
Meyer said now is the time to do some final crop scouting and think strategically about which fields to harvest first.
While some areas of the state are concerned about pod fill in soybeans, Meyer said the fields in his region have looked very full and healthy.
On top of practicing proper machine maintenance and safety habits, Meyer said it’s important for farmers to maintain their own bodies and get plenty of rest during harvest.
