According to the latest USDA crop progress report, seven percent of both Indiana\u2019s corn and soybean crops are already harvested\u2014with reports of some impressive yields so far this harvest season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEarly soybeans yields are record-setting, so people are very excited and happy with that,\u201d according to Shad Schenck with Specialty Hybrids. He\u2019s based out of Montgomery County and says soybean yields across west-central Indiana are looking good for many farmers across the board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere have been a lot of 70-bushel beans, but people have had record-setting yields on their farms that might otherwise have been a 60-bushel yield, but ended up being around a 90-bushel yield,\u201d says Schenck. \u201cA lot of the good ground with good soybeans was just amazingly in the 80-bushel range\u2014around 82 to 85, and then you have a lot of soybeans in the 70-bushel range.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He says soybean yields have been outstanding despite the heat and drought stress in June and early July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe had early planting increase the flowering window on soybeans. The crop was stressed a little early on, but then the rains came timely later in the season and it just was a perfect storm for those beans in our area.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Schenck says that corn harvest has been underway even though moisture levels have been above 20 percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCorn has been around 25 percent moisture. There has been some down below that, but with our maternity range of 108-day to 111-day corn, those are dropping down into the low 20-percent range. Next week, we\u2019ll start seeing corn that\u2019s below 20-percent, so that will be something we\u2019ll keep an eye on,\u201d says Schenck.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
