If the number stays true, it would make it Ohio’s third-highest harvest in history behind the 147 bushels per acre harvested in 2000 and 143 bushels per acre harvested in iC'f » , V | WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 24 SATURDAY.

The yield projections are already 40 percent higher than last year’s paltry 88 bushels per acre harvested. “The projection is a bit of a surprise,” said Peter Thomison, an Ohio State University Exten sion agronomist. “With the soggy soils we’ve had for much of the year, we are very guarded about what to expect in these fields.” Thomison, an associate profes sor with the Department of Hor ticulture and Crop Science, said that early-season saturated soils played havoc with com root de velopment, resulting in shallow roots. Any late-season stresses on the crop, such as hot, dry weather or diseases, could still impact the crop, causing a drop in yields. Michael Bolton 7:30 PM 12 Mom iffil WORLDS! ! ! iOBMUTJMDOWi I NL According to the Ohio Agricultural Statistics Service, the com crop is five to seven days behind in development, mainly due to the cloudy, cool temperatures Ohio has been experiencing late in the growing season.
