You have been very dry and you’re hitting average or better yields? Hmmm
I knew the phrase “where did it all come from” would need to be used this fall.
Everyone uses "very dry" as a relative term. Here we're 12-16" below average since March. That would certainly be described as "very dry" locally, but I'm still expecting average or better corn and fairly good soybeans. This is why here we generally fear wet years more than dry ones. On the farm that my house sits on, the cool wet season of 2009 resulted in lower corn yields than ANY other year of the last 20 including 2012 where corn was even drier than this year. |
