<p>Article in the London Free Press:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong><a target="_blank" href="http://www.lfpress.com/news/london/2011/10/20/18854636.html">Crop Yields Amazing</a></strong></p>
<p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; font-size: 1.1em; padding: 0px;">It’s not what farmers and agricultural officials expected after a cold, wet spring and parched summer across much of Southwestern Ontario’s farm belt.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; font-size: 1.1em; padding: 0px;">Yield reports from fields that have been harvested are being called amazing.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; font-size: 1.1em; padding: 0px;">“The yields on both corn and soybeans for the most part have just blown us away. We do not hardly understand where these yields are coming from,” Peter Johnson, crop specialist with the Ontario Agriculture Ministry, said Thursday.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; font-size: 1.1em; padding: 0px;">Johnson said there have been many growers reporting 50 and 60 bushels an acre soybean yields.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; font-size: 1.1em; padding: 0px;">“We would have expected a lot of 30 and 40 bushel soybeans. The yields have been just outstanding for the year that we had,” he said.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; font-size: 1.1em; padding: 0px;">The situation has been similar for corn.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; font-size: 1.1em; padding: 0px;">Some growers are reporting yields over 200 bushels an acre and many are talking yields of 160 to 180 bushels, Johnson said.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; font-size: 1.1em; padding: 0px;">“We would have expected to have heard a lot of 140 bushel corn yields.”</p>
<p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; font-size: 1.1em; padding: 0px;">There have been some growers hit with lower yields - 20 bushel an acre soybeans and 120 bushel an acre corn.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; font-size: 1.1em; padding: 0px;">“But the vast majority have been more than surprised and amazed by the high yields we have been getting,” Johnson said.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; font-size: 1.1em; padding: 0px;">The trick for farmers now is to get the remaining crops out of the field before snow arrives.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; font-size: 1.1em; padding: 0px;">Johnson said either dry conditions are needed or freezing temperatures that will allow farmers to get back into the fields.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; font-size: 1.1em; padding: 0px;">Harvest is further advanced north of London where it has been drier then south of the city.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; font-size: 1.1em; padding: 0px;">Some areas north have 80% of the soybean crop off, while areas along Lake Erie have only 20% harvested.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; font-size: 1.1em; padding: 0px;">Corn and soybeans are the two biggest crash crops in Ontario, worth hundreds of millions of dollars.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; font-size: 1.1em; padding: 0px;">The recent wet weather is raising the tension level for farmers waiting for a break.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; font-size: 1.1em; padding: 0px;">Jay Curtis, a St. Thomas cash crop farmer, said it is putting growers behind the eight ball.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; font-size: 1.1em; padding: 0px;">“It rained and rained, through the prime planting season, so we were late getting crops in.”</p>
<p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; font-size: 1.1em; padding: 0px;">Curtis said the regions’ summer with good heat and timely rains helped to put the crops back on schedule, but now Curtis said, “we’re getting saturated, so we’re in big trouble again.”</p>
<p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; font-size: 1.1em; padding: 0px;">John Ferguson, of Ferguson’s Fancy Beans in St. Thomas, said in an average year he hopes to have beans harvested by mid-October. This year Ferguson estimates 50% of the bean crop is still in the fields, and it’s going to have to dry out for a couple of weeks before any harvesting can take place.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; font-size: 1.1em; padding: 0px;">Southwestern Ontario’s corn crops have a better chance of getting harvested, said Ferguson, because corn can be harvested even after snowfall, “making corn a much less risky crop.”</p>
<p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; font-size: 1.1em; padding: 0px;">Corn usually must be dried down to 15.5% moisture, so a wet crop can cost a farmer, a lot of money in the form of natural gas or propane to dry his crop, he said.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; font-size: 1.1em; padding: 0px;">“To take corn from 30% moisture to 15.5% would cost about 70 cents a bushel,” said Ferguson who noted that the current price of corn is about $6 a bushel.</p>
