Knocked off the 2.5's yesterday after .8" rain Tuesday evening/night. Original moisture was 9-10%(just after noon) and getting drier.

Moisture yesterday came in between 12-14%. So at $10.65 cash beans, and adding 3% moisture, I added $.30+ /bushel.

To be sure, this would not be easy to do often, however, I have several days more to wiat for my later beans to mature, and only had about 40 acres of the 2.5's. In this instance it worked. I was disappointed in yields (40 bpa on droughty soil and it has been very dry here), yet the rain added $12/acre to my bottom line.

Something to put under my cap for the future.
