Harvest is in full swing! It seemed like it was taking forever for it to dry down. The foggy mornings haven’t helped. The combines can’t start rolling very early in the mornings but its full speed ahead when the dew dries. Specific yields haven’t been reported, but general comments range from “really good” to “not so good”. It will be awhile before official yields can be figured, as many of the terraces have standing water and won’t be cut until later.
