(Radio Iowa) - The southern part of the state took a little longer to finish up the harvest this year compared to the north. Iowa State Extension field agronomist, Aaron Saeugling covers the southwest corner of the state, and says a wet spring delayed planting.
He says they have more time in southern counties to make up for a planting delay than northern Iowa in terms of harvest. He says it's not unusual to be combining corn at Thanksgiving -- while in northern Iowa they don't like to do that because Mother Nature can come. Saeugling they had some pretty good yields despite the late start.
Saeugling covers Pottawattamie, Cass, Adair, Mills, Montgomery, Adams, Union, Fremont, Page and Ringgold counties.
