SYNOPSIS

Harvest is here throughout the county and nearby counties. We are seeing the effects of little to no rainfall mixed with the hot temperatures from the past week being reflected in the low moisture in harvested crops. Some fields that were later planted aren’t quite ready yet but we’ll definitely see an uptick in harvest in the coming weeks as the weather has really been drying down crops. Now is a great time to double check harvest safety measures and ensure everyone knows what to do just in case.
