IARN — It is hard to believe that today is already Veteran’s Day, and we are only two weeks away from Thanksgiving, and the start of the holiday season. What makes it harder to believe is because there are still a few combines and tractors rolling in Iowa.
The 2021 harvest has been complicated for a few because of rains that have fallen this far. These rains may be welcome to help recharge the soil, but they are slowing things down just a little bit. These slowdowns are nothing like we are seeing in parts of the Eastern Corn Belt where pictures of combines buried in mudholes are becoming an all too common sight on our social media feeds.
Iowa, for the most part, is done and that is welcomed news. Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship Secretary Mike Naig says that his area of the state was fortunate enough to have completed the harvest in a timely fashion and they have everything pretty well wrapped up.
