That most likely was my brothers 105 day corn. They started harvesting monday hauling it west to the E-plant. It was hailed on first of June, then 6" rain event last of June, then very dry July and first half of Aug. Also, corn on corn. Yield was just a little south of 150. Later corn that missed the hail should be much better. Yes, the E-plants will take corn 20% or less, no dry charge, but will shrink it. My corn tested 20.6 yesterday. I'm going to wait.
I just got home yesterday from a 7 day trip to SE Pennsylvania. They are very wet there. Rain most of the 6 days we where there. Local farmers reported 6 to 9 inches with water all over the place. And the hurricane rains are yet to come. This is dairy country, some have their corn silage chopped and most are waiting for dry weather. Milk price is low, lots of concern there.
I saw only one soybean field partly harvested on the way home, (I-80) one seed corn field harvested, and two truck loads of ear seed corn. Those ears of seed corn looked large so there should be no shortage of seed corn for next year's planting. I'm voting for a 10% reduction in seed cost for next year.
