Finish Line in Sight for Schemper Harvesting

Holdrege, Nebraska-based Schemper Harvesting is done with soybeans and moved on to the corn harvest. Jared Schemper thinks they’ll be finished in just a couple of weeks. Schemper says the corn and soybean quality has been very good, but hail had its impact. “We had a lot of 70-bushel of soybeans and we had a few quarters that got a bunch of hail on it that only made about 40. The quality is very good. The corn that’s been hailed on is making about 180 (bushels per acre) and a lot of the good corn is making 220-to-230. That’s probably about normal.”
