GREENSBURG – Harvest has arrived for many Southeast Indiana farmers.
Early yield numbers are diversified as some counties had too much rain and others did not get enough, according to a new Hoosier Ag Today report.
Brian Bush, with DuPont Pioneer, says early numbers are all over the place, “Harvest is underway on with our sandy soils being harvested first. There are some very good yields and some disappointing yields being reported.”
Bush told HAT that in areas where rain was timely, the numbers are good.
“In a plot in Shelby County, some of the new Pioneer hybrids did extremely well. Our newest hybrids took 5 of the top 6 places with P1197AM winning the plot at 307 bpa.”
He added it is a different story in areas where the rain didn’t come. Bush adds another issue impacting Southeast Indiana is disease pressure.
