Dry conditions have made for an expedient harvest season for Kurt Bernhardt who farms with his family near Imperial, Nebraska. The Bernhardt family grows corn, soybeans, wheat, pinto beans, and milo.
This harvest, they are observing lower yields across the board as a result of severe hail that hit this summer. Regionally, nearly 100 pivots were destroyed from this storm.
Berhardt said growing pinto beans is a completely different experience than growing soybeans. This is due to the fact that they grow much closer to the ground and are a food grade product.
Catch a glimpse of what harvest looks like in southwest Nebraska in this week’s episode of Fridays in the Field. This program is presented by FNBO, the Great Big Small Bank.
