OTTAWA -Harvest is underway for North Central Illinois farmers, though crops in portions of LaSalle County are taking much longer than usual to get harvested, according to Farm Bureau President David Isermann.
Even with the early planting, some farmers didn’t get the big yield increase that they hoped for. Iserman says if he could give a ballpark number of crops harvested in the county, he’d say 10% or less of corn and 30% of soybeans harvested. Even though crops are taking time to dry, Isermann says it can be a good thing, but depends heavily on the weather from here on out.
