The One to Count On...

A local farmer is weighing in on how this dry summer is affecting yields and harvesting. According to Kevin Flynn the average year sees a yield of 120-200 bushels per acre of corn in Washington County, this year the yield will probably be around 80-140 bushels. He adds some farmers were considering harvesting as early as the 1^st of September, but will now wait until the middle of the month after the recent rains. Harvesting traditionally occurs in the end of September.
