Harvest was speeding ahead with temperatures hovering in the 70s until cold rainy weather forced farmers out of the fields. Overnight temperatures dropped down into the teens on some nights, according to the USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service. Farmers were back in the fields this week – albeit moving slowly in muddy fields. According to the report, the soybean harvest was nearly complete in most areas across the state while the corn harvest was nearing the finish line as well.
