This year we weren’t able to get out in the field until the first week of May, but we had a really nice stretch there. The potential was really, really good for a while. The key was getting good rains in June and July, but we didn’t get those. It was a year of what could have been. Farms tha…
We had an inch of rain last week so fields were sloppy, and now it’ll be next Tuesday or Wednesday before it’s fit enough for any tillage work. The weather looks like it should warm up and we might have a nice stretch for a week or so. We still have two and a half days of harvest to do. We t…
Down to the last 100 acres. Got an unexpected inch of rain Thursday night that’s slowed us down. The cold weather is keeping the moisture up and stopping us from running. Last 15% or so of harvest is left. Have received 6 inches of rain in the last two and a half weeks, which we need. Hope t…
We got about 2.5 inches of rain on Friday, so that has kept us out of the field a few days. We have a couple days of corn and another couple days of beans left to cut. We needed the rain to recharge for next year. The last 30% of the corn has to come out yet and about 10% of the beans are st…
We had about 2 inches of rain Monday into Tuesday last week, so we got started back on corn after that. We switched back to beans on Friday, and they were back to 13% so the rain was good. We finished milo here Sunday evening and going back to beans this week. With any luck we should be all …
We have rain coming in so we are trying to get another truckload in. Beans are very dry, around 8% on some of them, so the rains might put some moisture in them. We are probably losing several dollars per acre cutting 7 and 8% beans. Field averages are all over the place. We cut some beans t…
We are just getting the equipment warmed up to start cutting beans. Harvest is in full swing with beans really starting last week. Yields are still all over the place — 40s are going to catch a lot of soybeans.
We have been shelling corn for a week now. The drought has caused poor stalk conditions so we are getting it out as fast as we can. There is rain in the forecast, so hopefully that will add moisture to the beans and we can switch to them. Yields are all over, with corn from 130 to 170 and be…
Things are really just starting here. We're just getting ready to start harvesting some corn that blew over in the wind storm a few weeks ago. A couple of people have harvested beans and yields are looking like mid-40s. If you go two counties north farmers are harvesting and yields look average.
We are just finishing up a few minor repairs and hoping to get out to the field by the end of the week to start shelling corn. We are about 10 days out on soybean harvest. The corn around home going out is the stuff that blew over a week ago. It’s still too early to know much on yield, but i…
Saturday night we had our biggest rain of the season — over 3 inches. Unfortunately it came with wind and some of the corn that died prematurely from drought was blown over. Harvest is still a few weeks away from starting around here. Moisture variability is all over the place, with some cor…
Finally got an inch of rain here Saturday. It’s the first rain of any consequence in about a month. We are hoping it helps the soybeans and putting some size on them. We’ve lost some pods and beans, but we hope it helps get the pastures going again. It’s not a great thing that people are fee…
This was the week when the crop finally just ran out of gas, or out of water. The beans are starting to yellow and the corn ears are starting to tip when they are only a quarter to a half way to milk line. That's not good. There is concern about hay and pasture this fall.
We got some rain on Monday morning (Aug. 29). I hope it's not too little too late. We were literally running out of water. There are spider mite problems but most guys don't want to spend the money to treat them. Hay is short and guys are baling a lot of CRP ground that was recently released…
We had a couple rains last week. On Monday we had just shy of an inch and Friday we had between a quarter and three tenths. Those rains helped. We're still hanging in there but we could use some more moisture. At least it proved it could rain. There are spider mites out there but it's a ques…
We need rain. We had a couple of cool days this past week, but Saturday it was 95 with a hot wind. The corn went backward. The side hills, especially the south sides, are hurting. We’re also starting to see some spider mites in the soybeans.
The heat took a toll on things last week. We had about a half inch of rain on Wednesday, but some people didn't get that. Right now we've lost the top end of the yield already, but we're used to that down here. Saturday it was 99 with a hot wind. So far the beans are hanging in there, but I …
The weather last week was beautiful but we need rain. Spraying of corn fungicide is wrapping up. Some guys are waiting for rain before spraying bean fungicides. Second cutting of hay wrapped up. Crops look good but we need rain and there are water hemp problems in some fields.
Our early-season moisture has saved us so far with the heat, but the gas tank is down to a quarter and we need some rain to keep our yield potential. Last week was hot and windy. A week ago I could dig down and find moisture pretty easy. This week it’s a lot tougher to find moisture. The pla…
Things are still looking good. We got a half inch of rain Friday and a little more on Sunday. We're just entering pollination. The beans are blooming. North and east of us things are dry.
Things are looking pretty good. We had about three shots of rain last week and got anywhere from 1.5 to 3 inches, depending on what farm you were at. The grass is growing. There should be a second cutting of hay soon. Weeds in soybeans are definitely an issue. A lot of guys didn't get pre-pl…
It’s good to get a nice rain going into July. A lot of hay got finished here this week, and a lot of soybeans have been sprayed. Things are looking better all the time — things are growing pretty fast. I was down near Seymour, and they were still planting and replanting beans, so not far awa…
There has been a lot of spraying. The first cutting of hay is probably 70% done. There are some weedy beans. We feel good because just south of us it has been wet and not too far north of us they could use more rain.
We are finally done planting milo, and the first milo is popping out of the ground. A lot of hay is being baled. A lot of corn is being sprayed, and there are a lot of weedy beans that haven't been sprayed. South of here, near the Missouri border, the clock is ticking on guys who have fields…
We got a bunch of corn sprayed, but conditions have been questionable. Right now a lot of spraying needs to be done. Some guys didn't get pre-plant treatments on, so they need to get a post-treatment on. The crop looks good, but we could use 10 days of warm, dry weather. Southwest of us, nea…
