Awaiting harvest

Corn stands in a field northwest of Celina this week. Recent rains have put a damper on this year's already late harvest, kicking farmers out of their fields almost as soon as they got in. Despite the rain and wind, there are no reports of downed corn in Mercer or Auglaize counties. Most of the early crop soybeans are off in both counties, and about 15 percent of corn is harvested, ag officials say.
