Tom Howard of Sheffield, climbs into the cab of a Case tractor at his brother Fred Howard’s farm at 150th Ave. N in Cordova on Saturday, Oct. 16. The farmers were taking advantage of the cooler and drier weather to harvest over 100 acres of corn on the Cordova farm. Harvest season continues in the rural communities, with motorists reminded to be alert and patient with the extra machinery on the roads.
