Auglaize Co. Update for October 19, 2011

Weather: Weather has been great for harvest and wheat planting.
Corn: Most of the corn has developed the black spot at the end of the kernel. Just waiting for dry down.
Soybeans: Soybean harvest has proceeded at a rapid pace, probably 75% finished. Production in the 55 to 65 bu. per acre at 9-15% moisture.
Wheat: Wheat is being planted as fast as soybeans are being harvested. I have seen some wheat up.
Soil Moisture: Moisture has been good for harvest – soils not too wet.
Other Comments: Manure is being spread and fields are being tiled. Some fall tillage is being done, as is strip tilling.
