With harvest season in full swing, we asked our audience — Given the low corn prices, are you leaving corn in the field longer to dry so your drying costs aren’t as high? If so, are you going to plant covers crops later or just skip them?

Robert Rabideau, Clifton, Ill. “My cover crop is sown with a drone over cash crop in early September, and yes, I'm waiting for a dry down. It’s not uncommon for me to run into November with corn harvest.”

Blaine Baker, Clayton, Mich.“My cover crops are already planted. We use a high-boy in late August. We just started harvesting corn October 13, time to shell. Things can get bad fast if you wait any longer and good drying days are far and few.”
