The current event I choose this week was an update on how the harvest is going in the Corn Best. Harvest is wrapping up around much of the Corn Belt – but some are still struggling to finish.Zach Hunnicutt farms in central Nebraska. “We’re still about six days out from being done with harvest,” he says. “We got an inch of rain on Monday or Tuesday that’s going to keep us out for a little bit. We were pretty well saturated anyway and it’s been getting cold and wet and it’s not going to dry out any time soon.” The reason I chose this was that we have been kind of been having the same problem here in South Dakota. When a little amount of snow came, just enough to delay from continue on with harvesting. But all farmers are slowly but surely getting there crops harvested. There is noting in our control to make things go faster or in our favor for that matter. Why this is a problem is because if the famers don’t get their crop out of the field and we get a lot of snow and it may stay, could even be a more disaster with the crops being overly wet and they will not get little to no profit.
