The Corn crops are all but ready for the imminent harvest. With summer coming to end it is also time to harvest the fruits of the season. In Nauvoo that means the grapes on the vine are ripening and the corn in the field follows quickly. The Nauvoo landscape will change with the cutting of thousands of acres of crops that stand anywhere from 6 - 8 feet tall. Once the fields are cut, farm houses and barns that were once hidden by the lush green growth of the summer will again come into full view and cars using the highway and rural county roads will be able to see for miles.
After the corn is cut and stored or sold it will soon be time to go back into the fields and cut the soy beans. Soy beans and corn have been staple crops in the Midwest for many years and with the increased interest in alternative energy forms they are sure to be even more important to the local economy and the the United States as a whole. With E-85 and Bio-diesel products being developed and merging in the main stream fuel markets demand for these Midwest agriculture products will surely increase.
