Snow Already Falling in Nebraska

For the week ending November 10th, snow fell in some western counties and rain fell in the eastern part of the state, limiting harvest progress. Grain moisture levels remained above safe storage levels in a number of counties. Most of the remaining unharvested acres are found in the northern districts. Statewide, producers had 4.2 days suitable for fieldwork.

Topsoil moisture levels rated 24 percent short/very short, 75 percent adequate, and 1 percent surplus. Subsoil moisture levels rated 46 percent short/very short, 54 percent adequate, and 0 percent surplus.

Corn harvested was 81 percent, which is well behind last year’s 100 percent, but still ahead of the national average of 76 percent.

As the demand for more food grows each day so does the size of equipment farmers use.
