West Kentucky | We have been harvesting for about 10 days now and are approaching half way done at this point. The early April corn was extremely good, yielding somewhere a over 175 bpa dry. We have been collecting enough premiums to this point to more then pay for the drying on all August delivered corn. We will continue now regardless of moisture because stalk qaulity on all May planted corn has been jeopardized and it is extremely weak. We harvested our first May corn today, all I am going to say at this point is NOT GOOD. There will easily be triple digit differences between some early and some late corn here. May 10th corn is running the same moisture as April 9th corn at around 22%, so pretty good sign the late corn just ran out of juice.
On a side note, flew south from Indianapolis today into KY and saw as many or more fields of down corn as we did standing corn. The corn in southern IN looked extremely poor between flat, drowned out, or burned up fields. We did see a few really nice fields, but they were few and far between. | |
