The harvest of one of the largest commercial crops in Northern Michigan is getting a late start.

Farmers are starting to harvest their sweet corn, but, thanks to Mother Nature, some farmers are looking at lower crop yields.

With only so many days left in the summer, they are worried they just won't have enough time.

Sweet and field corn both make up a large percentage of Michigan's total commercial crop.

With a cooler summer slowing down the growing process, farmers need a few more warm days out of the summer before the harvest is over.

Farmers expect to start harvesting their field corn around mid-September, but if we keep seeing cooler nights, we may be looking at an even later harvest.
