More like an underground lake. When you go into the very SW corner of Neb you get wells that are limited by the capacity of the pump.
Many are capable of 2 to 3 thousand gal per min. Most of them are 280 to 320 ft deep and the bottom 20 to 60 feet have hens egg sized gravel to let the water through. |

[br]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.
Mister Chairman,(smile) A cubic foot is one foot long, one foot wide and one foot deep. I don't think you can tamp 7.48 gallons of water in a box that size.lol. |

ses,
A neighbor just called, soybeans are 15.5%---after yesterdays
gloomy, misty, lite showers, drizzle and fog---Now 60 degrees,
wind blowing and 32% humidity---just about right by sundown,
then fog and frost by morning
Kansas crop report is 18% of the soybeans are harvested--
I question it, but snow flurries by the week end may make them
the truth tellers. |

Doggies Lom, I believe your right!
Dennis we cut 100 bushels. The local Co-op said it was 14 so we shut down. Today hauled in the 100 bu to your elevator and it was 11. Kinda pisses you off when you could have been cutting. BTW Norton is paying 60 cents better than the yahoo's here, which would be 40 cents better than your Co-op.
Got about .25 rain but it's pretty wet still. |

I went to Z. P don't take beans They said. The rest are going to Norton. From my circle it about as close as to Studley, which is the only one around here that's taking beans.
Broke a spindle on my commodities cart on my Flexicoil drill. Flexicoil guys said it would be a week getting parts. Of course they made carts for JD for lots of years so I called JD. Parts overnight. I don't know W T F I buy anything not painted green |

| Oh boy! I knew I was doing it wrong. All those years I have been using the moisture tester I carry in my combine made by dickey-John, and I should have been hauling it to the elevator. That is what I like about this site, I learn something new every day. Thanks! Guys. Adios Amigos! john |

Nearing 50% on beans, yields in the low to mid 60s. Most of the corn is still 30-35% miosture. Going to be a loooooong fall.
