Harvest Season
last updated
September 30, 2011
Corn harvesting begins with some fields green-chopped and quickly
proceeds to silage harvest, high moisture corn and dry corn harvest.
Often stover is harvested after dry grain harvest and used as bedding
material. Increasingly, corn fields are being looked at for biomass
harvest as well.
This season is an important time of the year when all of the challenges
of the growing eason come to fruition. It is truly when farmers "make
their money" and the effects of their management decisions during the
season are realized.
