David Loberg Northeast Nebraska | I'm stumped on our irrigated yields. We have some that will be 260 but, and some that will be 190. The outer part of the field looks good, but you get to the interior the ear size decreases. If the heat earlier in summer stressed it, as heat settled in field at night? Usually irrigation keeps the crop cooler though, so scratching head on that. The other thing is the rains were so spotty. There is a 8" difference in rainfall in 15 miles. We have dryland that will do 0 to 220. I know every acre of ours, and trying to figure an average yield at this point feels like throwing a dart at a wall. It's hard to put much stock in a yield tour of Nebraska this year. |
