With low humidity and light winds, combines got into the field by early evening last night and the same timetable is expected for today. Altus received three loads today with an average test weight of 59.6 pounds and 12 ½ percent moisture. Comments from producers referred to suckerheads being the cause of their slow return to the field, creating too much moisture. One load registered at 15.8 percent.

Test weights are ranging from 60 to 62 pounds from their producers and averaging 12 percent moisture.
In Walters, a load that was cut last night had a 56.2 test weight, 14.2 percent moisture and 2.6 percent dockage. That field averaged 4.4 bu/acre.
