2011 Corn And Soybean Harvest

Downed corn in Missouri

Just west of Concordia, MO, Glen Reikhof harvested this lodged corn.He had to back and fill repeatedly to clear the worst tangles, even with the help of the reel. Across the road, his neighbor's corn was totally flat. Photo by Edith Munro

Soybean harvest

Soybean harvest is well underway in Minnesota, and corn isn't far behind. Here a farmer was just finishing up a bean field, south of Cold Spring, MN, near Browns Lake on Sept. 30, 2011. It was a beautiful weekend to be in the field if you could!
