Now that the Farm Progress show is a memory, real farm progress is starting in area fields. Gingerich Farms started to harvest acreage near Lovington. This drone photograph shows the Gingerich’s harvesting a field of short season early planted corn last Thursday. “With the hot weather coming this weekend, the corn harvest will be going full speed in the next two weeks,” Dannie Gingerich said. He explained the yield is less than last year’s record breaker but is still on the high end of the five year average.
