Local corn harvest resumes after bad weather
The Sussex County fall corn harvest is back on schedule after a two-week period of heavy rain that flooded many fields and interrupted the harvest. As the top crop in the state, farmers plant more than 178,000 acres of corn each year. Farmers will soon be out harvesting soybeans, the second-leading crop in the state. RON MACARTHUR PHOTO
