NC Ohio | A local Dairy farmer came to me 5 weeks ago about buying corn for silage. He was going to chop it. So he wanted to buy it as standing corn. I priced it at $21.00 a ton and he would keep track of loads and pay me accordingly. 2 weeks ago I went to see him and find out why he hasn't started chopping it yet because it was getting pretty dry 23%. He said he didn't think it was getting to dry yet but admitted he hasn't checked it for awhile. I was getting concerned that I was losing tonnage. He then started to chop 2 days later. He has since chopped about 7 acres. I went and pulled an ear today and it test 17% now. My problem is it is a 60 acre field and its ready to shell for grain now. Do you think I am obligated to sell it to him for $21.00 a ton still. I sold to another dairy some silage the same way and he chopped it 3 weeks ago and it went 25 ton/acre. I did a yield check on the dry corn and it went 156 bu/acre. What do I do? Thanks | |
