Iowa farmers wrapping up fall fieldwork

Iowa farmers are finishing corn harvest and continuing other fall fieldwork.

USDA’s latest crop update says corn is 97 percent harvested, on pace with last year and a week and-a-half ahead of the five-year average.

Other activities include tillage, fertilizer applications, manure hauling, and tile work.

Cattle are grazing on stalks, and reports of more calves being weaned were received.
