Local farmers are preparing for harvest as the threat of an early frost looms. Washington County farmer Mark Knupp says if the weather cooperates, soybeans should be ready to harvest in the next week. He plans on harvesting his corn acreage before the end of the month. A local corn seed company has already started. Knupp adds a cold snap that may hit the area this weekend is the main concern for producers right now. The area could see a low in the 30s on Friday.
