Subject: RE: I guess its not a great corn year



West Union, Illinois

I guess I'm very blessed so far this year.  We've finished 4 fields and so far are running about 180 bushel yields.  For us that is above average.  We just finished the 40 acres outlined in red in the photo below.  2 years ago it was not even planted because it didn't dry out in time from flooding.  In fact, I took out crop insurance for the first time in several years mainly because of this field.  Spot check with a weigh wagon showed 190 bu/a.  Field total was 180 bu/a with average moisture of 14%

Oh, a clarification.  You may notice the tracks from pivots in neighboring fields.  This is non-irrigated.  The yellow streaks in the bean field to the right are "sand streaks". The color comes from the plants suffering a lack of moisture.  The big yellow spot is basically a sand bar, a sand hill in the middle of the field.
