Host Richard Hentschel discusses the 2016 farm crops with Russ Higgins. Richard talks with Russ about this year's harvest season. Crop yields are certainly hitting earlier expectations. Record yields along with record weed growth means harvest is taking a bit longer. There is more grain to move, more of the corn plant and weeds need to move through the combine and that typically means travel speeds across the fields has to be reduced. Following harvest, depending on the crop management system, fields will be left covered with crop residue. Other fields will be tilled leaving some residue on the surface.
