Corn and soybean crops that are forecast to be the largest in Kansas history are coming in, and elevators are bursting with fall grains.
At the Farmers Co-op Elevator Branch in Patterson, between Mount Hope and Burrton, a large bunker is full of grain, and two new concrete bins are being built.
The elevator, with branches in Mount Hope and Halstead, took in a record 4.3 million bushels of corn, soybeans, milo and wheat last year. This year, fall grains have surpassed 4.6 million bushels.
In November, Kansas Agriculture Statistics Service predicted that the state's farmers would harvest 561.2 million bushels of corn, which would be a record. The same could be true for soybeans, which is forecast to reach 157 million bushels this year.
