Winter cereal harvest has largely wrapped up in south and western regions of Ontario, though the east has yet to really get rolling. Vegetable harvest has started, and harvest of the always anticipated local sweet corn and fruit is well underway. While the lull between cereal, corn, and soybean harvest can be a great window to catch some fish and some sun, many farmers are spending time counting kernels and pods and estimating yields. Most are hoping for an open fall.

With all these #YieldChecks going on in the fields, decided to do my first planted and last planted corn fields… about 5bu difference in yield potential. #Ontag pic.twitter.com/tyTFBKEe3f

While it may feel like winter wheat harvest just finished, we need to switch gears and start thinking about planting this fall! Some info on optimum planting dates here: https://t.co/918WXuS2YB pic.twitter.com/R7son4jMYU
