鈥淓veryone is racing to finish up any tractor work before Thanksgiving when temps are supposed to drop,鈥 said Kaleb Ellis regarding farm work in the Waumandee Valley of western Wisconsin.

By the time the calendar flew past mid-November most folks were at a loss to explain how we arrived there so quickly. It seems like just yesterday it was summer. Maybe part of the reason for that feeling is that the past two months have been mostly very mild with average temperatures several…

The machinery is moving all across the valley in western Wisconsin as harvest pushes on to completion. There is still a lot of corn out there, but there are several farms already finished.

鈥淪tarting at dark and ending at dark,鈥 is how Kaleb Ellis describes the ongoing 2025 harvest.
