My goal is for people to post their actual yields and what they are seeing in the fields while in the combines. Maybe this will help us to undersatnd what crop is really out in the country.
East Central Indiana:
Sunday we ran our worst field (poor dirt) of beans @45 bu / acre.
Yesterday we ran our 2nd worst field (poor dirt) of beans @ 53 bu.
We should be into some really good beans after this next rain that goes thru. Our average for this area is 42 on this type of ground.
50 acres done, 1250 acres to go.
Life is good! |

You know us in Iowa, we like to follow Faust and not finish
our harvest till spring of 2010 since we plant 300 day corn. LOL |

We have two corn harvests here in NW KS. High moisture
over 30% for a big feed lot that puts up two mountains
of ground and packed high moisture corn...over 4 mil bu.
This has been in full swing for some time. Then SB. In
progress. Then dry corn. My Lessee cut a half circle of
short season DK 52-59 for his Mother. 35,000 harvest
population. 230 bu/a. I don't recommend 102 day corns
at lodging populations, but the goal is to get it in
the elevator before it fills up, and they are. lol. |

BTW, I am paying close attention to DK52-59. There
is a lot of it around the country on dryland. It is
a short corn which is ideal out here in the desert.
You don't want to be using subsoil moisture to grow
a big tall silage corn. My only concern is that it
is not rated good for Gray Leaf Spot and Banvel. We
need 1/2# atrazine+8oz Banvel before the corn is 5"
for Palmer Amaranth control. Palmer is resistant to
glyphosate. RCR doesn't like Lumax, but Callisto works
good for Palmer control. |

ECI: An irrigated circle is 120A on a 160A quarter
section. With declining water rates, a lot of circles
are going to half C half SB. This is a good rotation
for growing your own N, controlling residue for planting
the corn, and stretching the irrigation water. This
well is 500gpm. You need 550 to grow 240-270bu/a corn.
When you do this rotation, you turn the 500gpm well
into a 1000gpm well on a windshield wipe. SB are the
most drought tolerant crop there is. If this corn had
been Golden Harvest 9145 or Pioneer 33D49, the yield
would have been 270bu/a. But, like I said, they are
more worried about getting it into coop before they
fill up. That's why you want your own bins. lol. |

| 48 - that yield for pioneer, would the before or after "green snap". Half circles, not enough water. Obviously, you guys are not up to date, Taxpayer down in the panhandle is using drip irrigation, when are you guys going to catch up? lol. John |

Faust: Reid's Yellow Dent will greensnap if in rapid
growth stage with 70mph straight line winds. FYI, NW KS
is the leader in SDI=Subsurface Drip Irrigation only
behind Israel. Freddie Lamm at the KSU NWKS Research
Extension and Research Center is one of the foremost
experts on SDI in the world. There is a lot of SDI
around here. It is very capital intensive. The best
way is to place the tape immediately below the row.
This is easy with RTK planting now. But, you can
cut the capital cost in half by placing the tape
between the rows. We ARE on top of it friend. lol. |

ECI: There are 43,560 sq ft/acre. If you covered it
one foot deep in water that would be 1 Acre Foot or
43,560 cubic foot of water. There are 7.48 gal/cu ft.
43,560 cu ft X 7.48 gal/cu ft=325,828.80 gal/A-ft.
325,828.80 gal/12"/ft=27,152.40 gal. BTW, that's not
the commonly reported gal/A-ft due to rounding, but
I'm trying to keep this simple. lol. |

Anywhere from 180-270' deep, but 200' would catch
most of them. |
