Ohio farmer says harvest has been slow and steady

Harvest has been slow going for northern Ohio farmer Steve Reinhard.

He tells Brownfield they’re trying to take advantage of decent weather this week to put a bigger dent in the harvest. “So far, yields have been good for both crops,” he says. “Our soybean yields have been running really kind of surprisingly good. I know we’ve had some fields that we thought would be on the upper end of what we usually have for a farm average, but they’ve actually exceeded that expectation.”

Reinhard says there have been some reports of vomitoxin in corn, but overall, the quality has been pretty good.
