Happy November 1st – what a harvest it has been up to this point! When is the last time you’ve been finished this early? It’s amazing to see the long stretches of good weather that we’ve had to knock out this crop in a hurry.

Good afternoon. Here we are at the end of yet another week and month. We are on the downhill side of the harvest season.

Farmers are beginning to wrap up bean harvest fairly quickly here. We are starting to see an increase in corn, and thankfully are still not seeing any VOM. I don’t think that we will see any as harvest progresses.

Good afternoon. It was another rainless week here in central Ohio, but we did get a reprieve from last week's nasty heat. They say rain is coming tonight, but I’m not holding my breath.

Good afternoon. What a fantastic week of weather we have had, other than no rain, once again. Sounds like the furnace door gets opened back up for the next 10 days or so with no real chances for any rains.

Good afternoon. We had all kinds of information come out this week. To start things off, we had the USDA make some big changes in acreage from the June report. Corn acres were down some 700,000 for the upcoming harvest, wheat was down 900,000, and soybeans were up ...
