Northwest Iowa — It’s still early, but the harvest season in northwest Iowa is getting off to a good start, according to ISU Extension agronomist Leah Ten Napel.
Weather conditions during this growing season were widely varied, she says, and so are the yields.
Ten Napel says some farmers are predicting a 200-bushel-per-acre average for the corn crop.
Ten Napel says much of her region received adequate moisture this season, though she notes, parts of Woodbury and Monona counties, just south of Sioux City, were among the driest in the state.
