beans arent doing to bad in SW MN. had 6-8 inches of rain the last ten days. tried it today but no such luck in the beans. dust was blowing but the beans were 16%. maybe tommorow. talking hard frost here tonight and through the weekend. Corn is falling apart in alot of fields. have some issues with stalk rot. mainly in the dekalb for some reason. our pioneer is standing better than the dekalb which is a good thing to see finally. everyone check your fields for
50-44vt3 that number seems to be tipping the worst. good thing it costs the most! tested some corn the other day was black layered and was around 30% moisture and was planted mid april. Got a ways to go hopefully the test weights are there. thinking it could be all over the board this year, and from the sounds of other people talking they are saying the same thing.

| We received almost 3.5-4" of rain the last week. Some pods have opened up and spilled their beans. Disgusting to look at but it is not that bad yet. Will fill the silo tomorrow and Saturday if it doesn't snow Friday night. You guys need to chill out, I realize it is money spilling on the ground or rotting in the ear but you just need to realize *** are you going to do about it. If you can't get out and do it you just can't. It doesn't do any one good to bring ugly, pissed off, cranky moods into the house. JMO. On the bright side 99% of my corn is black layered and I tested my first planted and I gave it the ECI hand job and it came out at 24%. This was in the best, highest moiture part of the field. I would wager that if I was to combine it in a couple of days it would be in the low 20 range and it would do easily over 160 bpa. Good Luck. |

You bad boys from SD need to give us panty waists a break....we just aren't hardened like you guys. With those 12 K plant pops, if you can't get into harvest, you just call in a logging crew, chop it down with an axe and load the big ears on a hayrack....we've got different issues down here....so just ignore our whining.
bwaaaaaaaaaa...where did I put that pacifier? |

DB, with VRT seeding I have found it is better to run the populations up into the 35-36K range in the good, heavy ground that way I can reduce the ear size while increasing yield and lowering the harvest moisture. Next time you have to dig your corn planter out of a 4-5 foot drift of snow on April 25th then you will know what it is like to farm in the bunghole of the world.   BTW, most all of the beans I have heard of in my area are in the mid to upper fourties. I did hear over by Marshall, MN they were dry and the beans are struggling to get into the thirties. |

5044 is the number that blew down the worst for us last year... i'll solve your problem for you... plant 5047 instead. Forget the VT3 and you will have better luck. Put some insecticide on when ya plant...
5020 also looks great this year. also our 5262 looks better than our 5259

Hey Ken, Congratulations. I think you're about to join the party on the rainfall. I just took a drive to the farm, and to get a Crapochino at Hucks....roads were flooded and impassable on the gravel road.....city has the barricades up on several streets.
A Semi-driver with a box trailer thought he would brave the water and was practically greasy side up in the 6'deep ditch along the plant entrance.

| Natty: spent yesterday down in the other end of your county. Was it ever wet, all the ditches and creeks full, water standing/running every where. |

hey guys sorry to hear of your deluges of water, I read your responses for the day or two on all the wet stuff, and with the cold persisting all next week, that put us here in Ont. with only a 2 week window left to get SWR in for the fall.
Beans have just begun to be taken off, few select fields.I was left with a sleepless night before last, rolling , tossing and turning as to making a decision to plant wheat on wheat ground. I SAID , ....IT! I can't sit around sitting on my hands when I know my window is narrowing to get that stuff in as I must,as I have my 2010 wheat sold for 6.25 and I'd be a fool not to get it in. I planted just about enough yesterday as the ground was fit to do so.Soy fields will remain too wet to plant next week with all the rain and coll conditions..
I was fortunate to have baled the wheat straw and carbon sequestered the ground with a burn down which eliminates weeds seeds and the fusarium feature possibility next year .Most do not subscribe to that technique, however I have no volonteer wheat to speak of as a result so I do not have to keep working the ground or rounduping the field which is carbon negative.I don't mold board.
Have any of you guys ever done this before? Man what a fall!!!!!Looks like Indian summer might come after this cold snap. I equate that to five days without rain here in the forecast. Clear from Sat. to next Wed., should allow me to get my beans off. |

Maybe I should change the Topic to '2009 harvest LACK-OF progress report. We got .8" so far. If we have a great Saturday, maybe we can cut beans late, late Sunday or early Monday?
Natty, this one is for you:
Life is good! |
