”Harvest is on the downhill side,” according to Golden Belt Coop in Ellis where they expect harvest to be finished by the middle of next week. South of Ellis finished

cutting but north of town still has some work to do. Golden Belt received approximately 35,000 bushels of wheat at their Ellis location on Friday.

Midland Marketing’s Toulon location told Hays Post on Friday evening that harvest was definitely slowing down a bit. They took in 30,000 bushels on Friday and are seeing yields from 20 -40 bushels an acre the past couple of days.

At Midland Marketing’s Yocemento location Travis told Hays Post, “It was a good day on Friday. We took in 45-50,000 bushels. Test weights were 58-62. Moisture was about 10. Yields are from 20-30. We are on the down side for sure and expect to be finished by the middle of next week. The weather looks like it will hold out and not slow us down.”

At the Cargill Elevator in WaKeeney, they filled their first train cars of the harvest on Friday after taking in well over 200,000 bushels. Caleb told Hays Post that they were very busy all afternoon on Friday.
