During the past week soybean harvest has kicked into high gear. The extended dry period has allowed farmers an uncommon opportunity to harvest non-stop. In some fields they are having trouble staying ahead of the drying beans – grain moisture dropping as low as 10%, increasing the chance of shattering before harvest.
Soybeans generally are the first crop to be harvested, but even then it depends on the planting date of the corn and soybeans. Some years, the soybeans are planted late enough that both crops are ready to harvest about the same time. Corn harvest will begin in the next seven to ten days for many fields.

Amelia, now 7, is the daughter of Beau and Christina Griffin, who are also parents of two sons: Jude and Willie. The little girl is now a first grader.
