Edwardsville - Valmeyer

I had an early morning stop in Edwardsville today.  I then continued on to Valmeyer to do some sampling.  Corn harvest is about 75% done in that area.  Much of the remaining corn is still high in moisture.  One report was 25% moisture, so harvest will be slow for a while.  10 to 20% of soybeans looked to be ready to harvest, but lots of beans still have leaves hanging on.  I did see some double crop beans that are just starting to turn.  Early bean yields are disappointing, but I think later beans will do better.
