Our harvest season odyssey continues in Amboy, Ill., where I spent the day with Dave Thompson, a farmer turned precision specialist for Case IH dealer Johnson Tractor. Dave says most of his customers were done harvesting before the calendar flipped to November and they’re happy with the results.

“Beans went fast this year. Guys were able to combine beans all day long, rather than maybe just an afternoon because of the dew. What a nice year.

“Of course they’re not happy with market prices. That’s not that uncommon with where the markets are, they’re not great, I’m well aware of that, but the yields are incredible. I’ve yet to talk to anybody that’s not happy with their yields. It was a fairly dry year, so kind of surprising the yields are where they are.”

Of course, I’m sure not everyone was so lucky with the weather. Shoot me an email —nnewman@LessiterMedia.com — let us know how harvest is going in your neck of the woods.
