Luckily, we have just now experienced our first frosts and freezes, starting Sunday morning with a light frost, and progressing until this morning where we are standing at 25F. Our late crops have matured, so the only effects we will see are allergy sufferers now get some relief, the grass will go from being not very good to totally worthless, and our sappy soybean stalks will now be much easier to feed through the combine.
After being out most of last week because of rain, a few combines started rolling yesterday, I expect today most farmers will resume harvest. With crossed fingers we now hope for Indian summer, or at least a change to a dryer forecast, the 10 day looks good right now with no rain past election day. We need all the good weather we can get, perhaps finally after nearly a year of wet weather we will turn off dry.
