Harvest nears completion for northwest Iowa grower

Harvest is past the halfway point for northwest Iowa farmer Brent Swart.

“About average yields that we’ve seen here in northwest Iowa both in soybeans and corn. Most of the soybean harvest has finished up. Most growers are getting a good start to the corn harvest.”

He tells Brownfield some fall moisture has helped recharge the soil profiles.

“A few rain delays and weather delays here and there, but those have been, for the most part welcome just due to the fact that many parts in the state were extremely dry this summer.”

Swart farms with is brother in Clay County.
