Coleharbor, North Dakota farmer Paul Anderson is done with corn harvest for the year. “Our later planted corn did the best when compared with the earlier planted corn,” says Anderson. “We had a strange year. There was a dry period from July 4 to August 25 and the rain we caught late helped the later corn. We had scrambled ears and large kernels from that. The test weights were heavy. That’s where the extra yield came from at the tail end.” Ahead of the snowfall Anderson still had sunflowers to harvest. “Due to the warm conditions back when we planted, the flowers snuck out of the ground before we could get pre-emergence herbicide applied. There’s a bit of a mess out there and we’ll see how they turn out.”
