Boone Co. Iowa | Up to 2 days I would have agreed with Iowa. But then moved to our farthest field away, 10 miles north. The stalk rot and downed corn is pretty bad.
Sandy farm, but that area was just inundated with rain.
Went to daughter’s musical and talked with farmer who farms in that area. He was talking about how wet everything is. Has 70 acres left, is going to wait 3 more days for things to dry out.
Talked with 2 seed dealers past 2 days, and a guy I farm with who travels Iowa for his job.
All three say that there is no way that Iowa is 70% done with corn harvest.
Local ethanol plant is at -.12 under corn basis. That is strong bid for gutshot of harvest.
Lots of stuff muddied out around here. And lots of corn and a few bean fields that haven’t sniffed a combine.
I am driving through standing water, and my last field has a one big pond that hopefully I can go get a decent chunk of next week.
Iowa might have some question marks.
I am getting 2nd or 3rd best yields ever, but all my N went on with the planter or later.
Getting most of my downed corn but 1 hybrid was a combine one way situation. Thankfully only 25 acres of that. | |
