An agronomist says it’s time to harvest corn, even if it hasn’t dried down enough. Scott Rowntree with Pioneer tells Brownfield the growing degree units won’t dry down the crop much after November 1st. “I could envision one to two points of drydown through the middle of the month of November, but once we get beyond November first, we really have some pretty slow drydown, so it’s time to get that crop out.”
Rowntree says running the grain dryer is probably the best option to ensure a quality crop and not leave bushels in the field.
