ND Farmers Waiting For Corn to Dry in Field

11/20/2013

0 Comments

 


Dry weather helped North Dakota farmers over the past week, but a shortage of propane and storage space has slowed the corn harvest. The National Agricultural Statistics Service says farmers are waiting for high-moisture corn to dry in the field because of propane shortages and the lack of available storage. And it says some grain elevators have been limiting the bushels of corn that can be delivered based on the amount that could be dried every day. The soybean harvest is close to wrapping up because combines can now get in wet areas that were hardened by freezing temperatures. The U.S. Department of Agriculture agency says the corn harvest is about 78 percent complete. That's well behind last year's 100 percent but ahead of the 69 percent average.
