Corn is coming off in northeastern North Dakota. Harvest conditions are like “night and day” compared to last year. Brevant retail product agronomist Morgan Hanson says the early maturing corn are performing well. “The 73-day is running average, 120-to-140 bushels per acre, even 180 bu/a in some spots. Moisture levels are in that 15-to-17 percent range and test weights are excellent in the mid-to-upper 50s.” Soybean harvest is also moving along at a rapid pace, with some farmers even nearing completion. Hanson says yields are in the mid-to-upper 40s, which is average for the area. “We did get dry mid-season and the especially the hilltops started to wither. Also, I do think the early frost took off some yield, but I’m not sure we would have kept that with the dry conditions.” Hanson has more in this interview exclusive to RRFN.
