| Tom, I plant 85 to 92 day corn and .5 to 1.4 bean. The seed companies don't recomend any bean above a 1.0 here. I have planted 1.4's and given the year sometime turns out quite well. I think this year it would have been benificila but I decided not to plant any that late of a maturity. Last year was also vry here and the 1.4 did the best with the late August rains and warmer thatn average Septenber we recieved.
Dad said when he was a kid that the only corn grown around here was for silage. The hybids they have out now have really pushed the northern edge of the corn belt, though I would like to see a large selection of 85 to 90 day corn.
It is a different world that you and I farm in, and it is only maybe 150 miles away. I am east of Hinckley. Most the guys joke that we could come to southern MN or Iowa and farm blinded and still get a better cropps than we get here. I know it isn't true but it always easy to think the other guy has an easier time farming.
Hope harvest goes well for everyone.

Doesn't look like the early bird gets the worm this year.
