Harvest begins!

In 2012, we worked at several ISU Research Farms, including: Northwest, Northeast, Southeast, Southwest, and Johnson Farms. We were working mostly in soybean but also had several corn trials this year. Plots are drying down quickly and we are preparing for the last step in our summer research - harvest! Usually it goes pretty slow for us because we have to stop often to weigh grain in every plot. Some of the farms have automatic scales on the combine - otherwise we have to weigh grain by hand.
