Revealing Beef To Culinary Students - Chef Noah Hawkins

Many Wisconsin growers have been concentrating on harvesting soybeans, but now the combines are heading toward the corn fields.  Lucas Clayton, district sales manager with Wyffels in southwest Wisconsin is ready for the data.

Clayton says the heat and dry weather have really helped on moisture within that ear - and the plant as a whole.  Keeping a plan in place for harvesting those fields that might have been compromised by weather events is important.  Stalk quality remains something to monitor.

While you're monitoring those stalks, Clayton reminds growers to share their harvest information at the Wyffels Harvest website.  No individual grower is identified, but information is aggregated to allow everyone a real-time sense of how the harvest is going.
