Donnellson, IA. Makes saying here easier. | 6030Deere - 8/6/2020 22:47
I’ve seen way worse pics out of SW MO and SE KS this year than anyone has posted coming out of IA. Several pics from down south where the corn didn’t pollinate. We are talking a 5ish bushel yield if lucky. It’s as close to zero as I’ve ever seen. I’m
I see the same thing. Just lack of rain is a pretty hard indicator of how bad the crop is hurt. In my part of the state a red dot like that would mean I'd be harvesting 20% of a crop. Not a 20% loss. So much difference in a regions ability to hang on and what a disaster is to some in bushels is to another. Any reduction in today's situation sucks. Especially now without a good price. In 2012 I had a field with an 18 bushel average. But at least it was my first ever claim and I had good guarentee levels. Plus the price was good. They keep saying the corn belt is shifting north. If that is the case welcome to a whole bunch more variability in seasons for the middle of the state.

This might leave a mark, who’s in the red in Iowa?
