All the rain in the Miami Valley from the past few days has slowed down fall harvest for farmers.
News Center 7's Gabrielle Enright was in Greene County to find out when the work in the fields will resume.
Craig Corry and his family have been in the field for about a month, but their work has come to a stop because the fields are too wet to work in.
“It will be be days before people can get in the field,” said Corry. “Fields really become inaccessible and it can cause damage to the future crops by compacting the soil and getting the machinery stuck.”
Along with destroying soybeans, Corry says the rain can also weaken the cornstalks.
“If the 50-mph wind will damage a tree, it will blow over a field of corn,” he said.
Corry also says farmers are on a deadline when it comes to weather.
“Once we get into November, the number of good days decreases,” he said. “Most people would like to finish up by Thanksgiving.”
