Farmers are having more of their usual share of fall challenges this year, with corn prices that are the lowest they have been since 2010 and in areas, wet weather conditions which are delaying the harvest. But with a great growing season and advancements in crop technology and farming practices farmers are looking forward to combing excellent crops this fall which will produce record corn and soybean yields.
While this is a busy time of year and farmers may not have time to socialize with friends, the adoption of smart phones is keeping them connected to farmers around the world. A great number of farmers and those that work in the agriculture industry have taken to social media, especially Twitter, to share their experiences and successes from the field.
