Chicago Trip

We came south out of the city on I-57. No crops till past I 80. Soybeans further north were really dropping leaves. Corn looked mature for the most part. There was activity in the Field at Clifton and some from there on although maybe 10% of corn was harvested the rest of the trip. South of Champaign there was one field of soybeans being harvested. More corn harvested in Champaign County than anywhere I have been except West Alton. As we went south, soybeans got more green and corn seemed more dry. There were a lot of trucks lined up and unloading grain at Cargill in Tuscola. We saw some harvest activity until Pana. I think we must have gotten into the heavy rainfall area from there on.
