HUSA Oct 8 2026 - Harvest Progress

Van Driesten Harvesting has been going hard on soybeans for days now. They also caught some fabulous views. And Krumbach Harvesting is getting after it, as well as Novak, Novak's in the beans. Are you interested in learning more about the New World Screw Worm and how it can affect your livestock? Read the feature story from Nebraska Department of Agriculture, found right there on our Harvest USA Facebook page. Heil Harvesting says, if you're not working on your sickle, are you even swathing? Our 40 foot headers each had brand new sickles going into the millet season, they said, so we actually aren't working on them much at all. But even so, we still do work on them sometimes. This was just a broken knife section and easily repaired. They'll soon be looking for more fields to put our swathers into. Proso millet season doesn't last forever. If you have some failed corn or milo that you're wanting to swath and bale this fall, get in touch with Hale Harvesting LLC. Don't let that failed crop go to waste. They can leave tall stubble and or standing strips to catch the snow and help the wind erosion. That was from Heil Harvesting. The National Potato Production was down in 2025. Pacific Northwest Ag Network is asking, what do the Northwest numbers look like for you? We'll have more information in the future on this year's potato harvest. And Iowa farmers are getting a little more breathing room at the pump as the harvest rolls on. A temporary dyed diesel rule has now been expanded to cover even more agricultural products being hauled on Iowa roads. Farmers, what are you seeing out there? How does it affect you in your state? Let us know right there on our Harvest USA Facebook page where you'll find these stories and more. That's going to do it for today's Harvest USA report. Thanks again for listening and may God bless. I'm Brian Hale.
