Alton, Ia | Ditto on the 9910. We normally don't plant that early of corn, but I switched combines last year, so wanted a few acres of early corn to debug it before beans. Glad, very glad, I only did a few acres with it. Very light ears, lots dropped on ground.
P0448 wasn't great either, but tolerable. Still yielded pretty well. I didn't think our D numbers snapped that bad, but they had Goss' bad enough it was hard to tell what the heck happened in some spots....
It was a pain when you hit a big patch of broken stalks, I know what you mean, they'd just sit there on the poly, knocking other ears off. A few here and there would feed through.
Yep, July 11, around midnight IIRC. Could not believe the wind, I was actually surprised we didn't have more damage when the sun rose. I thought we'd have trees down, corn flat, etc. But the wind was dry, not part of a rain event. I guess that should have been an indicator of things to come.
You must have me confused with Kooiker, etal. We're barely into Sioux county, so we're more like Apostle-ville :). We just love it when the creek floods and we get some of that rich ground left behind, that's our only chance..... | |
