The battle continues
Moisture 16-20%, not going to say yield because I don`t believe it myself, but by far historic best field yield. Poet at Handlin`town had a little fire so area coops got very busy.

Re: The battle continues
We didn’t keep a log, but by rough recall you lost that crop 4 or 5 times.
Happy, and relieved, for you.

Re: The battle continues
The harvest battle is over here at South Podunk country farms.
40% of beans are sold for Dec delivery.
12% of corn sold for Dec delivery.
So the pricing and hauling battle commences...

Re: The battle continues
It`s been a great harvest so far in this area, most are done and tillage, strip tillage finished. Yields have been excellent, rain snow delay so I went trucking a few days. But it`s weird, late September my Son and i went to Yosemite, he got the permit to climb Half Dome so you gotta go when you get the permits. On way back I could see combines hitting the beans in western Minnesota from 35,000 feet, about 10 hours after wheels down in Minneapolis I was combining.
I saw bears in Yosemite, but no bears in the market when I got back to Ioway But these Bigshots went through this crop like a knife through hot butter. I had some 97 day Pioneer where I live in northern part of county for feed and 200 bushel yield 14.5% moisture, more just in time rains/sprinkles southern part of county and yields much better of course wetter grain, which is a good trade off. The last rows are out there somewhere, just ain`t found em yet.
