2010 Iowa Corn Harvest

The 2010 Harvest is underway in Iowa. It is quite early this year and I conducted research to learn why. I learned that the early growing season had plenty of rain while recent weeks were quite dry which caused the corn and soybeans to mature and be dry enough to start an early harvest.
In this series of pictures you will see an Iowa Tractor Boy from Clayton County Iowa conducting his first day of the corn harvest. You will also see that he has appropriate assistance. A Young Iowa Farm Boy in Training who may become the fourth generation of Iowa Tractor Boys in this family.

Since you monitor comments and can stop this from being posted, I would like to introduce myself. I am Dave Hart..Iowa farm boy from Humboldt Iowa. M.E. from Iowa State and then on to some overseas work. I love Iowa. My mfg partner still farms in Humboldt. If you would like to test a new blogging product we also developed that would be great. It is free to you and allows your readers to print and mail your blogs in 4-color. We are looking for some people to try it out. If you get a chance see www.hardblogit.com. It works well for mailing pictures for Grandmas fridge. Thanks.
