Iowa farmer begins 2022 corn harvest

Northwest Iowa farmer Kelly Nieuwenhuis says he’s optimistic about his corn crop despite a year of drought-related challenges.

“We’ve started on our first field and it’s probably going to be our worst yielding field,” he said. “It’s 16% moisture and 58-pound test weight, so overall I think it’s going to be pretty good quality. I think our yields will go up from there.”

He tells Brownfield he doesn’t expect too many delays from Mother Nature this harvest season.
