Most of the corn here has been combined. Yields were good. That looks like good corn Richard.

Lots of much-needed rain over here as well.

But the harvest is done!
Its not always easy to do the right thing, But it is always the right thing to do.

I was hoping for a day or two off, looks like it'll be a week and a half at best. Probably gonna wind up with 6"-7" all told. It's soaking in though which is a good thing.
It's gonna be a bin buster year if I can ever get in to pick it.

We started early and ran late thru last Saturday, 10/23/21, before it started raining buckets. We tried to finish on Tuesday, 10/26/21, but it was too wet and we quit rather than cause more soil compaction and probably having stuff stuck in the mud. Still have about 230 acres of standing corn, but need some dry and windy weather before the fields and county roads will be firm enough to handle the weight of loaded combines, carts, and semis. Corns is running around 277 which is making everybody happy, happy, happy and looking forward to the best payday since 2014.

I'm sure it'll be Monday before I will be able to get back in the field. We've had a lot of rain over the past week.

Wet is an understatement, it is downright soggy here, so I went hunting. Corn will be there when I get back.
