North Iowa farmer harvests “unbelievable” crop

A north central Iowa farmer has wrapped up a remarkable harvest.

April Hemmes of Hampton says her corn and soybeans performed extremely well considering the dry growing season.

“With half of the rain I usually get, I brought in a record crop. Unbelievable.”

She tells Brownfield her area received a total of eight inches of rain the entire growing season.

“But it just came at the right time.”

Hemmes says this was also one of her earliest harvests.
