I go to Dallas about once a month and get to see the crops across our state. Went on labor day weekend and the crop harvest had just started with corn. Beans were still green and you could see very little white on the cotton. Went back this past weekend and took some pictures.
Did not see any corn. It is 100% harvested from what I saw. Saw lots of bare fields where corn had been.
Some where even growing back with weeds and what looked like volunteer corn or growing back from the roots.
Beans are all dried. Some have been harvested; some were being harvested; and some were still in the fields.

The short stuff has been harvested and is growing back for next years crop. The tall stuff needs to be harvested yet. A truck hauling cane to the mill.

The port of Baton Rouge. Just one of many elevators where they load ships with corn and beans.
