The 2015 crop has rebounded significantly since June
OXFORD COUNTY - For the most part corn and soybean crops have rebounded nicely in Oxford County after a slow start to the growing season.
Heavy rains earlier this year threatened a lot of the crops and in some areas of the County they didn't recover as well as in others. Provincial Soybean Specialist with the Ministry of Agriculture Food and Rural Affairs Horst Bohner tells Heart FM it really varies from field to field.
"We will have some fields that have really suffered right through the whole growing season, often it's those fields that don't have systematic tiled drainage, however in some cases even some fields with the tiles, there was so much water in some of those fields that the crop never recovered properly. As you go from one concession to the next things can go from pretty good to mediocre, at the end of the day you will likely end up with an average yield but that doesn't mean the individual producer will have an average yield."
Bohner expects the Harvest will start at a normal time for both crops in early October.
