Most of the crops are either in the bins or left as they aren't worth combining. There are still lots of dry corn fields waiting for that "hard frost" to be taken off. It was 11 degrees just before the sun set at 6:30. What a perfect way to close out October and for the kids to enjoy Halloween. This year ...
