Ohio Crop Weather
There were five days suitable for fieldwork in Ohio during the
week ending November 17, according to the USDA, NASS,
Great Lakes Region. Producers largely finished up harvesting of
the remaining double-cropped soybeans this week, and made
significant progress harvesting corn before snow and moist soil
slowed progress in many regions. The moisture content of
harvested corn averaged 19 percent. Heavy winds from the
storms that swept through the State Sunday night may have
damaged remaining corn, but it is too early to know if there was
significant damage anywhere. Producers also spent the week on
fall tillage, but the moist ground hampered efforts.
