Some fields are out around here.\\We should start in a few days.

Really starting in around here. I'm also surprised at how much corn has been picked (as well as chopped).

How long since you've seen the beans with that black "Eye"?[img]https://thumbs.[bleep].com/z/closeup-soya-bean-seeds-product-97129831.jpg[/img]

Lots of beans cut this week here I havnt started still working on some wind damaged corn before it goes clear down
Beans look like they are gona yeald well this year

Probably get rocking next week.

Back in, the beans tested 14.1, that is a 30 cent dock, hoping for tomorrow.

Started yesterday, beans were in the high 11’s. A very humid day today never let them dry down past the low 14’s. Cut about 500 bushel and called it a day. Hopefully we get some sun and wind tomorrow.

Go Cards!

Jake tried them, A bit wet yet.

I bent the feeder house floor

Well that ain’t good.

I hope you don’t get fired. 😬

Maybe after dinner we'll get rollin' again.

14.3 still too wet.

Better today, we need to keep pluggin' along.

Central to west central MO have been running hard the last 3 weeks. Saw some guys today doing both beans and corn. Still some late beans that haven’t turned

Also saw some guys putting in winter wheat and even winter wheat already sprouting.

Waiting again, %16 plus moister.

Still too wet.

It looks like no beans today.

We're done with beans, 1,325 acres averaging 84 bushels per acre.

We've started on corn, 1,204 acres averaging 267 bushels per acre and this is on our less productive ground. The guys are saying that 290 bushels per acre on the better ground might be possible. I've never seen them so positive about every farm and every field.

With yields and prices where they are, in a normal year the car and implement dealers would all be rubbing their hands together thinking about all of the crop money that would be heading their way if they actual had inventory to sell.

Are these yields on irrigated land?

90% of t he corn is irrigated.

60% of the beans are irrigated. Dryland was yielding 80 to 82 bushels per acre.

Didn't have to run the pivots very often this year.

Light at the end of the tunnel, about 40 acres left.

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.

Kid that rents a field from us started yesterday.

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

We got a good start on corn today, Jake is still hauling some.

Around 14 percent.

Hope to finish up on the beans today. Will get back into the corn next week, have about 35% of it done.

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

WOW!

Wrapped up the beans today. Best yields ever.

All bean fields have a lot of volunteer beans growing.

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..
