Considering most of the midwest suffered a drought, of course harvest is a few weeks ahead of schedule.
Wouldn't a drought stunt growth and delay a harvest, though?
Does a drought make things grow quicker?
I'm not a farmer but I would guess it would have to be harvested before it rots or is picked clean by birds. If they can't get enough corn for actual food they could maybe get enough for deer corn, or animal feed, or maybe ethanol (don't know what is required for that). If it isn't growing anymore due to the drought I assume it will go bad.
That makes sense. Thank you.
