Harvest 2024 Comes to a Close

The growing season of 2024 was very different, going from too much rain in early summer to almost nothing though our months of August and September. Not only did this wild weather pose challenges in our soybean fields, but also in our sweet corn acreage. Starting with our sweet corn acreage, we had struggles of the crop reaching the harvest stage in a good timeline. This led to the struggle of not always having sweet corn on our different stands throughout the months of July and August. Even with the struggles I faced this year, I was still able to produce a great crop in which we gained many complements on. Turning to our soybean crops, the drastic change from flooded fields to super dry ground posed a thought of what’s our yield even going to look like. With the lack of rain through early October, we were able to get in and out of fields very quickly. After this very dry harvest, and many precautions taken to ensure there would be no combine fires, harvest 2024 has officially done for us.
