I'm at 30% done with beans and 20% done on my corn.
Both are doing as good as they ever have on my poorer ground. Nowhere near the yields that 260 is seeing though, that's amazing.

My wife's farms are in Fillmore, Seward, and York Counties. My farm, all corn, is in Gage County.
The guys who farm the ground say that this is one of their best crops ever. They say that we had good rain and luckily were missed by the wind storm that tipped over so many pivots just to the west in Hall and Hamilton Counties.

Visited with a guy at Albert Lea tonight who said they were running at 60.

Was told that yield in this part of east-central Iowa was in the 80-85 and 200-225 range.

I have heard, maybe just coffee shop gossip, that one of the neighbors had a Stine hybrid that made an average of 102 bpa. I hope that he did, 'caiuse I also heard from a seed salesman that his corn was around 205 bpa because of a corn borer infestation on one farm that caused a lot of broken stalks and corn on the ground. Somebody said that he should hire a couple dozen illegals to do a line walk east to west and then north to south in that field to pick the ear up off of the ground..
