It's a bumper crop

OTTERBEIN -- There is some green in the soybeans Doug Brummet has been harvesting near here, and they're testing pretty dry, two indications that this year's crop is not maturing evenly.

"Yields aren't too bad. They're holding up in the low- to mid-50 bushels per acre," said Brummet, who farms 3,500 acres of corn and soybeans in Tippecanoe, Benton and Warren counties. "I don't know if they're going to hold up to last year's yield. I think they'll be a little bit less."
