Eighty-nine year old Clifford Heaton spends Friday morning behind the wheel of the combine in family fields north of Princeton. Though their beans are all in, his son, Ted Heaton still has a lot of corn to bring in, the elder Heaton said. Harvest in Bureau County will no doubt be pushing into the Christmas season this year, he added. On Monday, the U.S. Department of Agriculture reported only 19 percent of the corn crop out of the fields in Illinois, well below the five-year average of 86 percent.
