A local farmer is shown above using a combine to harvest soybeans from a field on Route 4, just west of County Home Road, earlier this week. Farmers are working long hours into the night to take advantage of recent dry weather. They are primarily harvesting soybeans right now but will begin to take corn off the fields in the coming weeks. Local drivers should be aware of slow moving farm machinery which will be traveling on Union County Roads.
