Wet Conditions Delays Harvest
Posted 12 November 2008
The U.S. Department of Agriculture reports wet fields and wet corn are a problem across Iowa as farmers try to finish up the harvest. The USDA officials say the Iowa corn harvest is about two weeks behind schedule.
 
Rain is forecast for today, Wednesday, Nov. 12, into tomorrow, Thursday, Nov. 13, which could mean additional delays in getting corn out of the field.
 
According to the weekly crop report from the Iowa agriculture secretary's office, the corn harvest is 62% complete.

Moisture content of corn in the field is at 21%, while
harvested corn is 18%. Corn generally needs to be dried to about 15% moisture for storage.
 
The state's soybean harvest is nearly complete at 97%, which is on pace with last year's harvest.
