Welcome to the Harvest USA Report. I'm Brian Hale, an original production of Howard Hale Broadcasting, now expanded throughout North America. We'll be back with our report for today right after this.

Today on the program we have Custom Harvester Dave Hermesch working 20 miles south of Tulsa.

Here's our co-host David Woodruff with Dave Hermish.

So are you harvesting anything lately?

We haven't harvested anything yet, but we've got soybeans that are going to be closed. Probably I'm going to say in a week or 10 days, well maybe you have some ready.

And how do they look?

Oh, five to six weeks ago, and I said we were going to cut the best bean crop we ever cut down here. But now we're probably looking at a 10 or 20 bushel crop. We had a month with no rain and above 100 degree weather every day. We've been getting rain lately. We've had some good rains. They're just a month too late. Now our late beans, they're going to help them some. We're going to have an average crop on our late beans, but early beans aren't going to be worth their due.
Do you have anything besides beans?

There is some corn around here, but in some wheat, but all the wheat gets double crop back to beans.
