A western Wisconsin farmer is grateful Mother Nature has brought some late-season warm weather to help finish the corn.
Shane Goplin has begun harvesting corn near Osseo. He tells Brownfield, “We’re hunting and pecking on where it’s dry enough, so we’re going to combine as long as we can and try and keep it under that 22% moisture to run through the dryer otherwise the dryer becomes so inefficient.”
He says the sunshine is helping, and moisture in the early-planted fields is around 19% but his later-planted fields are around 24% moisture.
