Early snowfall is putting more pressure on Nebraska farmers to harvest what could be record crops.

Agriculture experts say yields remain high so far, but moisture is adding to farmer's costs.

Bill Schuster hopes to soon harvest his corn crop-a crop only slightly damaged by freak October snowfall.

"Probably a few ears are going to get missed because of it," said the Hamilton County farmer.

"As long as there wasn't a lot of wind behind it. As long as it didn't stick to the plant, I don't think it probably hurt too much," said Todd DeVries, crop production and marketing specialist at Aurora Co-op.

It's moisture farmers are worried about now. Without a few sunny days, it could be costly.

"If they're bringing in corn that's 20 to 25 percent moisture they could be spending five to six cents a point to dry it," said DeVries. "We could easily have 30, 40, 50 cents a bushel in drying charge."

"Certainly going to be more expense. That's for sure," said Schuster.

So farmers are hitting the fields without ideal conditions in an attempt to beat the next snow.

"We hope the weather holds and we don't need anymore snow," said Schuster.

"I think there's a lot of pressure on the farmers right now to get this crop harvested. One thing is we have a huge crop out there, but we also have probably the biggest investment we've ever had in a crop," said DeVries.

But even as weather conditions cause a spike in crop markets, DeVries says many farmers are looking to just break even.

Schuster says he's usually finished with harvest by Halloween.

But this year, experts predict Nebraska's harvest will go well into November.
