We are fast approaching the end of harvest as we endure almost every condition that mother nature can throw out way. In the last week we have picked in rain, snow, mud, and today we are going to give -20 below wind chills a try. Although it will be cold, we have been waiting for some freezing temps so we can get the combine through a couple of fields that have been too wet. Hopefully the elevators can make it through a few more days as most of them are still closing early and running out of space. Our local FBFM accountant told us yesterday he talked to 15 people and almost all of them had at least 200 acres or more left to harvest. That is sill a lot of corn to come in. Our local elevator manager also said there is a possibility that the gas companies could limit how much they could use for the driers as the temps get colder due to demand. Time will tell and if the weather holds up we should be done before christmas.
