Not sure how many more bushels I'll sell above $8 in the near future but I would be pretty disappointed to average 150 bu.

Organic beans are more variable for me, but I have them priced well enough that they'll beat corn on net if they run much above average. Least favorite crop to grow though.
How much rain does it take to push 200 bu organic corn Blustery? We had 2" total for May and June. I'm expecting ~50 behind a cover crop of peas and ~60 behind a pretty good stand of clover.

40 bu wheat is my most profitable, then 50 bu corn, then alfalfa-tim at 1 ton/ac, then ~13 bu beans and ~20 bu peas.


Completely different soils here I think. My lowest yields have been the wettest years. Here we were flooded in the middle of May. Not quite two inches since. Here's a pic from yesterday.

We seem to get our best yields with 3-4 inches of rain per month through the growing season.
