Crookston, Minnesota farmer Kevin Capistran wrapped up his corn and soybean harvest already. Soybeans were off during the week of the Big Iron Farm Show on September 13. “That’s about as early as early as I’ve ever finished up soybeans, dryness pushed them along but it was still a good crop.” Concern for standability motivated an early corn harvest. Early October rains were a good thing for Capistran’s sugarbeet crop. “I’m not sure how well they would have stored as dry as they were.” Capistran says beets packed on another 50 percent since pre-pile in mid-September. “The worst question now is will we get to dig them all.”
