From the Fields: Harvest is a marathon, not a sprint

William Henert makes adjustments on the sidedress toolbar in front of his farm’s shop before returning to the field to apply anhydrous ammonia in Lee County in north-central Illinois.

We can’t complain about the fall harvest weather and we didn’t have too many issues. There wasn’t any break this year with harvest.

Usually there’s a couple of rain days, but this year there was a half day that slowed us down. Harvest was a marathon and only the last two fields were a bit of a struggle.
