CHURUBUSCO, Indiana (Indiana's NewsCenter)--The wet weather has put Indiana farmers about 25 days behind on their harvest schedule. Wet ground is making it difficult to get the crops out of the fields.
Mary Gynn farms several hundred acres south of Churubusco. She says she’s getting her corn out of the field this year without too much trouble. Her problem is wet grain. She’s running her grain dryer night and day, drying her corn crop before storing it because it’s so wet. And that costs money.
“I think the gas company's gonna love me this year,” she says. “I would guess that probably two to three times the cost of drying grain, the corn this year over the last two or three years.”
Grain dryers use natural gas and luckily prices aren’t as high as one year ago. And more good news…yields are good this year locally and commodity prices remain strong
