Seed Corn, Proso, Dry Bean Harvests Start

Sep 21, 2015

Temperatures averaged near normal and rain was confined to the eastern half of the state, according to the USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service report for the week ending Sept. 13. Silage cutting was active in a number of areas. Seed corn harvest had just begun and the first fields of high moisture corn were being taken. Last irrigation activities were underway. Winter wheat seeding was progressing in western counties, as was dry bean and millet harvests. Topsoil moisture supplies rated 7% very short, 29% short, 61% adequate, and 3% surplus. Subsoil moisture supplies rated 6% very short, 26% short, 66% adequate, and 2% surplus.
