SYNOPSIS

Harvest has officially begun in Logan County, with some corn fields being harvested earlier this week. A lack of significant rainfall, combined with the high daily temperatures over the last couple of days, has pushed plants toward harvest. Some corn and soybean fields are still too green, so it remains to be seen how the forecasted high temperatures over the weekend will impact their readiness.
