Precipitation varied from .05 inch in the eastern Upper Peninsula to .38 inch in the west central Lower Peninsula. Average temperatures ranged from 4 to 6 degrees above normal. Favorable weather conditions for the week allowed harvest activities to advance at a steady pace, as growers wrapped up harvest of most crops for the season. There were reports of a few fields of soybeans remaining to be harvested. Although the unseasonably warm temperatures have helped to reduce the moisture in corn, it was still higher than normal. Despite the moisture content in corn, harvest continued. Some farmers will wait another week before harvesting. Farm activities included cleaning-up orchards, field crop harvest, and fall tillage. Field Crops Report Field Crops Above normal temperatures and an absence of precipitation advanced the dry down and harvest of crops. Corn harvest continued as conditions permitted. Concerns of mold in the crop existed in the southwest and south central. Moisture levels dropped since last week but were still higher than desired. Lines at the elevator were still lengthy, and elevators closed early to allow the dryers to complete their drying cycles. Sugarbeet and soybean harvests were generally complete. The last of the 2010 wheat crop sprouted and germinated. In the southeast, however, there were concerns about the overwintering of the crop.

As a result corn harvest is virtually finished and cotton and soybean harvests are over 80 percent completed. Wheat seeding and preparing the tobacco crop for market were the other primary activities accomplished in the five days suitable for fieldwork last week. Pastures were reported in mostly good condition and especially favorable for late November. Topsoil moisture levels were rated 2 percent short, 85 percent adequate and 13 percent surplus. Subsoil moisture levels were rated 1 percent short, 83 percent adequate and 16 percent surplus. Temperatures across Tennessee last week averaged about 3 to 5 degrees above normal. Rainfall averaged below normal across the state.

Corn is essentially done with a few scattered acres left to harvest. Soybean harvest progressed rapidly but still acreage to be harvested. Cotton harvest began in earnest this week with much progress being made but at a slower pace than other crops. Wheat seeding was accomplished on many acres but the ideal planting window of October 15 to November 15 has passed." Tim Campbell, Dyer County "The farmers in Fayette County got started on their harvest Wednesday after a rain event Monday and a cloudy/misty day Tuesday. Beans and cotton are the two crops left and yields still look good. Farmers have indicated that they need about 5-10 more days to finish getting their crop in. Wheat planting has just about finished with hardly any being planted in Fayette County this year." Jeffery Via, Fayette County "Good strides in getting beans harvested. Still some corn in the field. Bean yields have been very high, mostly in the 60's, but there are some quality issues with the beans. Some producers have had storage issues with some granaries being full and long lines at other granaries." Kevin Rose, Giles County "Dry all week. Fall harvest end is coming soon." J. Dale Beaty, Warren County "Corn Harvest is Complete. Late beans are still standing. We've had 8 light frosts so far - no real killing frosts yet." John Goddard, Loudon County "We still have over 150 acres of corn that still has not been harvested. Ground is still saturated and preventing farmers from planting wheat."
