A large percentage of the soybeans are out in southeastern North Dakota. Scott German, who farms at Oakes, North Dakota, says corn is another story. “It’s going at a snail’s pace. With this cold air, the grain dryers are pretty inefficient and it’s not drying out in the field.” Corn yields are all over the board and test weights are a concern. German says it will take time to bring in this crop. “There will be more crop left out in the field down here this winter than we’ve probably ever had. I think there will be a lot of Thanksgiving meals in the combine and it may be the same story for Christmas and Easter.”
