Sat - 10/22/2013 12:03 Sunflowers that is,I took a 578 miles road trip,2 different route's from EC ND to 45 miles NW of Bismarck. Bismarck area and east towards Jamestown. East of Jamestown,flower area quits and turns into wall to wall corn/beans. With the rains and snow this month,,,heavy damage....Wet mushy soil,big beautiful heads,saw many/most fields 30-50% almost flatten,any low,wetter area 95-97% flatten from rain,snow,winds. IDK what kind of headers out there can pick up downed sunflowers if one combines, ONE direction ? ? ? The old JD row crop or all crop ? ? ? It looked like a awesome crop til they blow over. Coming home in the south steel country area,I drove 37 miles and saw 2 field of WHEAT STUBBLE,only TWOOOO. Jamestonish NE towards my home area,was like WOW for acres of corn and beans................. Looked as though these guys choked of the corn planting CARROT,but they must be still alive and building bins by the looks of it ! ! ! ! ! 120-130ish yields sounds like the normal,I would guess that's above APH's, and this was generally a much dried area then I and poorer land. More so of what the north I-80 guys would call "fringe" or"very fringe" that northern tundra belt that never was going to get planted this spring. All I can say is BNSF sure better keep the unit trains running very hard to ND. We dont have Jack for cows. Jack for E plants. We're a dry state for Whiskey Makers We do have Pro Gold for corn sweeter,but one county could bury them in corn And Ray is to far away !!!!
