The first video in the series focused on planting, and the second segment highlighted the outstanding weather in June and July for most farmers, which helped the crop progress quickly and created a good situation for pollination. This final segment reviews how harvest went for the same four farmers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe crop is very large and high quality in this area,\u201d Nebraska farmer Dave Nielsen said. \u201cWe had really good growing conditions, which set us up for harvest. The farmers in this area are very pleased, and I believe across the whole U.S. Corn Belt, farmers are pleased.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to the United States Department of Agriculture\u2019s (USDA) World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE) report released Nov. 10, U.S. corn production this year will be record-breaking. Total production is estimated at 14.4 billion bushels or more than 360 million metric tons, with yield estimates at 173.4 bushels per acre or almost 11 tons per hectare.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTest weights have been running anywhere from 56 to 59 pounds per bushel (72 to 76 kilograms per hectoliter),\u201d said Terry Vinduska, a farmer in Kansas. \u201cFor us, that\u2019s average to slightly better than normal. We did lose a little bit of kernel depth because of a drought on a couple of fields in spots but, all in all, it\u2019s a very good, high quality harvest.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In a few areas that had more wet, cloudy weather, test weights were slightly lower compared to last year.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe plants had plenty of moisture, but they weren\u2019t quite photosynthesizing enough to really put the nutrients into the kernel to make it as dense as what it was last year,\u201d Illinois farmer Paul Jeschke said. \u201cI think the really wet late season weather was possibly the cause of our lighter test weights.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Many farmers have already started drying their corn in preparation for storage. This is a crucial step in preserving the quality before it goes to storage and is eventually shipped.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn Ohio, the corn wasn\u2019t dry enough at the end of the growing season to put it straight in the bin, so we used a mechanical dryer,\u201d said Ohio farmer John Linder. \u201cOne of the challenges to maintaining high quality in this type of drying system is using the proper temperatures to dry the corn, so we monitor it very closely.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. corn harvest is proving to be a record crop with good quality overall, which will be highlighted in the harvest quality report, set to be released Dec. 15.<\/p>\n<p>For those looking to purchase U.S. corn, the Council has a list of commercial grain exporters available on its website, <a href=\"http:\/\/grains.org\/buyingselling\/corn\/commercial-grain-exporters\" target=\"_self\">http:\/\/grains.org\/buyingselling\/corn\/commercial-grain-exporters<\/a>.
