Farmers used last week’s dryer weather to resume harvesting. One of them is Wisconsin Corn Growers President Doug Rebout, who tells Brownfield yields look good. “Down around the Janesville area, our ten-year average is 185 bushels per acre and so far this year we’re averaging 220 bushels on corn, so it’s phenomenal this year.”
Rebout says his soybean yield is around 60 bushels an acre, or about 10 bushels above his ten-year average, but the wetness has made it difficult to get them harvested.
