5250JB - 8/28/2014 19:51 Can you say harvesting in Mud . If it keeps up long enough . Add to this Diplota
(sp?
) stalk rot , slow dry down , and any other relate conditions to excess moisture. You end up with a mess fixing the ruts or problems indirectly related. It may not cut what the plant produces , but can make harvest a long drawn out affair. Which results in big harvest losses . It can take a great crop and move it to a good crop. It can make a clean field the biggest weed patch in the world . Is it a tipping point I can't say, but as of today I have had 7.5 plus inches
( and its raining now
) for August normal is at most 2-3 inches max . So if you needed rain I am sorry I don't have a way to share some . And I am not a Bull or a Bear just had to many years harvesting in less than good conditions . JB
