2011 Corn Harvest Underway

[marketeye]

This year's U.S. corn harvest is underway and the market is watching. The first of the 2011 crop has been harvested in Louisiana. In northcentral Louisiana, early harvest yields are coming in between 12-18% below the average, according to one grain elevator operator.
Due to extreme heat stress, at least one irrigated field harvested Tuesday recorded a yield of 144 bu./acre, below a normal yield of 160 bushels per acre. How many days until you will start harvesting?

My corn hasn't even begun to tassle yet, and I was one of the earliest guys done.  Even the guy who was done before I started doesn't have tassels yet, and frankly, I'm begenning to get a little worried things are going to be interesting come an early frost.  In fact, it was only 75 degrees yesterday, and too many more days like that and a normal frost date will make me nervous.  Unfortunately, the only way to make up lost heat units in Nebraska will likely involve 100 degree days.

Corn harvest has been underway for some time in Kansas.  The choppers started ten days ago on the dryland that isn't going to make it and there will be more piled in the next two weeks as the forecast is 100 degrees plus and no rain.
