I took advantage of the need to go to Springfield today and did a mini crop tour. I was surprised to see soybeans turning yellow and dropping leaves. Not all of them of course. I also passed many fields that have mature corn. Near Springfield, a few fields are harvested.
On the way home, I headed down the Black Diamond Trail and near Raymond, I saw Combines in the field. The field in the third picture down has 3 combines in it. They were almost done with that field. The last picture is nearby, but a different field and a different farmer.
I will be spending Tuesday at the Farm Progress Show near Decatur. It is the greatest spectacle in agriculture.
