CORN HARVEST HAS ARRIVED


Corn harvest is in full swing in Central Illinois, with the cool, breezy weather we've had lately drying out the corn in a hurry. 

Today's forecast from the USDA is that corn production would hit a record 13.2 billion bushels, which is higher than the current 2009 record of 13.1 billion bushels.  Yields are expected to average 162.5 bushels per acre which is down from last year's record of 164.7 bushels per acre.
