Weekly Crop Conditions Report

Jackson County(east central) Iowa: harvest in my area has become sort of a challenge.most guys finished beans the week ending oct 12th.since then,we have only been able to work 3 days total out of 10.recieved about 2" of rain(not complaining),but it took 6 days to get it.there are rain chances everyday this week.corn is 40-50% done as of sunday night. the corn I have been in is 20-24% mt. yet. plan was to dump 15-18% corn right in the bin after finishing beans,especially beings sept.and first part of oct.  was warm and dry .alot of guys are stumped as to why it isn't drying down around here. yields are 90 on poor ground to 160 on better dirt, with some reports better and worse.
