Subject: Throwing in the towel....


NE IL
Another 2 inches in 45 minutes tonight. 300 acres of corn to sidedress, every acre to spray, N gone on most, 120 acres underwater that was going to be replanted to soybeans, another 200 acres of soybeans in ponds and puddles that needed to be replanted. I feel like I should try an do the best I can, but the reality is that we'll be collecting insurance ( again)... When do you guys decide to keep throwing money at a crop hoping you can somehow make something from a bad situation and when do you just "throw in the towel" and get ready for next year.


This wouldn't be so hard to take if it wasn't exactly the same thing as last year in NE IL.... As guys 40 miles away were combining 60 bu. beans and 250 bushel corn, we were combining 150 and 40 because of all the rain. 12" in June last year, and now 13" and June isn't finished this year.
