Farmers taking to their fields to drill next year’s wheat crop means fall’s not far away. It also means harvest time is just around the corner for the irrigated corn and soybean crops. High-moisture corn harvest has already started on many dryland fields in the county, with much of it headed to Imperial Beef’s five-million bushel pile of wet corn. With less-than-normal rainfall this summer, farmers are drilling their wheat a little deeper to get closer to some of the moisture still left in the summer fallow fields. Monday, Kent Wedel was planting a wheat field south of Grant. With the windless conditions, the dirt hung in the air over the field, illuminated by under a reddish sun masked by the smoke from recent forest fires in western states.
