Holdrege, Nebraska — It's now Dec. 8, and I'm still going to the field. I'll be busy tomorrow picking a quarter of irrigated corn. It is, hopefully, the last field for 2024. Overall, it was a beautiful fall harvest. The weather was so good all fall.
Around home, the soybeans yielded around 60 to 80 bushels per acre. The lower yields were due to summer hail. The corn had extreme yield ranges, too, anywhere from 150 to 250-plus.
It was 65 degrees this weekend and so nice. Our forecast this week is cooler with highs
