Early Beans are out. Averaged 65. Single row was 61, twin row was 70.
First field of DC beans(group 4.8) was 30.
Have one more field of DC beans (5.5) look like they will be around 40.
Rain and 90 degree temps may reduce that number. Time will tell.

| In my corner of the world water can move just as fast or faster below ground as it can above ground. If your local delivery spot will take 14% beans you are foolish not to deliver every bean you can. By the time you take the shrink and extra shatter on the "extremely dry" pods you are money ahead. |

The a**holes around here won't take beans over 13. Just like they won't take milo over 14 or corn over 15. You have to let it stand in the field until it dries down. Very few elevators even have driers. The one that does you have to sit in line for hours to dump cuz everybody for fifty miles around with a wet load goes there to get dumped. |

I'm shelling May 14 planted 25% corn and taking it to ADM. They have a 10K/hr dryer...3 1/4cents/point to dry. I dried 7,500 bu with my 12K bin with stirrator, figured my cost at 2 3/4....not including labor. They are wanting corn here....We drove right on the scales and dumped and were out the other end in 6 1/2 minutes.
Will go balls to the wall tomorrow and not stop until the rain starts. I think anyone waiting for their corn to dry into the mid 20's or high teens is on crack....Santa will be dropping his load down the chimney before that happens......
Volume of corn is overwhelming our capacity to dry and the stalk quality is going downhill...had 1.4" this morning....but we were back at it at dark.
We've got some Asgrow 4103 and 3805 beans planted mid May - Late may....probably should have been cutting them...but am worried about the corn hitting the ground come a high wind and rain combo...which could be Thursday night. Most guys around here have corn in the low to mid 30's on moisture.
I've been hearing bean yields from 35-60 here...50's being the norm on early GIII. Problem is there are alot of late planted beans still green as spring grass. |

natty: Read db51's post. As I recall he is in the
very southern tip of Illinois. Physiological maturity=
Black Layer=30%. They are not even at Black Layer. Just
imagine what northern Ill is like. 28 degrees Sat and
Sun means there is going to be a lot of low test weight
corn and low yields. That's why corn shot up. It actually
shot up because of a short covering rally. But, that's
why they're getting out of their shorts. Best. |

ses: You're welcome! lol. I know. I know. KYA. lol.
BTW, on your elevator saga, you can not store SB
here. You have to sell across the scales. With the
2010 invert, it's probably just as well. Just FYI. |

We're on hold here in WI. Rainy forecast until the weekend. Beans tested 16.1% moisture Monday, so no go.

Our corn is black layered. There is still some in the neighborhood that is not, but not much. Weather report says we could get several inches of rain yet this week.

48...speaking of getting out of their shorts, my guess is if the rainfall totals tonight and tomorrow materialize with a freeze to top it off, I'll be geting out of mine to change them if you catch my drift.
This IS going to get uglier than Studmuffin's Russian Bride.

| Last Sunday mornings frost pretty well stopped the low laying crops, the upland crops are/were still surviving. Even the corn that tasseled the middle of Aug seems to have made it to what will be close enough to maturity to not be a huge problem, seeing as it is scattered though out the fields. |

E C Ill- Less than 5% of the corn done in this area.
Less than 10% of the SB done in this area.
About 70% of the corn planted after May 20. The corn was uneven due to a wet/cold May/June. Any potential damage from frost will be had to determine until the combines measure the results. The stunted spots are in the same wet pockets that are usually more likely to get frosted heavily.
Here? About all of the soy should be safe from frost damage.
The vast majority of the corn is in the 30s -not black layer. The vast majority also goes to commercial drying and storage. Lack of drying capacity will lengthen the days it takes to get this crop out.
We need cutting weather for soy and very badly need drying weather for corn.
I have harvested part of 3 days. Results- about 80 acres of SB done.
SB might just get fit again today ahead of the forcasted rains.
SB yields so far are above our long term averages.
