BROADCAST TRANSCRIPT:
Harvest time is here, and yields have been good for some growers but there are issues farmers face.

Dan Wesely, a corn and soybean farmer and member of National Corn Association Board said his yields have been good this year.

“Overall, it’s been better, which is nice. I want to bring in a better crop,” he said.

Although better a crop is what he wants, he’s facing a challenge with it during harvest.

“We’re blessed with a better yield but on the other hand if you’re going to get less for your product. You’re working harder and getting less for it,” Wesely said.

He’s putting in more time for less pay because of how low the prices have fallen.
