Re: Uncle, Uncle, Uncle
Here in Kansas we pray for rain everyday and it just will not do it. The corn and beans are in the ground but we are not sure there is enough moisture to get them up. The wheat is just now trying to head, about 2-3 weeks behind normal,but it is turning brown. Pastures are about to give up again.

Re: Uncle, Uncle, Uncle
Thanks for sharing Hobby. My Dad always told me that if we could get through Memorial weekend without receiving any significant hail damage on our winter wheat crop that we were more than likely going to avoid it for that year. I realize that in Central Kansas we generally begin harvesting only 2 or 3 weeks after this weekend, but he was correct more than he was wrong. I can't pinpoint it, but there is some type of correlation between severe weather and Memorial Day weekend, seems like we receive some real doosies on this weekend.
PS, in 2012 Central Kansas began wheat harvest on Memorial Day weekend. 2013 we aren't even 100% headed out, close, but not 100%. What a difference 1 year can make.

Re: Uncle, Uncle, Uncle
Hobby is probably done and the corn is knee high on the rich farmland he owns in Iowa. However . . . here in the rural backwater . . . some beans were put in ten days ago, not much has been planted since. Corn is still to be planted, but much of it was planted a few weeks ago. The beans that have been planted probably will "damp off" with the rains coming every other day. The corn is just drowning in fields that have not been tiled and have little slope.
Prevent plant corn becomes effective in a few days, and prevent plant beans willl kick in about two weeks from now. Kinda looks like there may be some guys just sitting it out this year (including me) if it keeps raining. I hear the walleye are biting in Dakota.
I had ordered seed corn and seed beans but they are still in the dealers warehouse, kinda looks like they may owe me a refund. lol. John

Re: Uncle, Uncle, Uncle
If these acres will be PP, will the ground just be kept in shape chemically or mechanically? Will any of these acres be seeded to some type of cover crop with hopes of possibly selling some hay later in the year?

Re: Uncle, Uncle, Uncle
They will sit. Some will control the weeds either chemically of with steel some will become a weedy mess for someone to deal with next year.
In the past Fed crop has considered it their ground and NO crop of any kind was allowed. "they are the tenant"

I'm having a WTF experience here.... I mean you are a bean farmer. Hope your co is better than mine, once you buy it it is yours, they will take it back and warehouse it for you and bring it back next year to you, but "refund" ain't in their vocabulary.

Re: Uncle, Uncle, Uncle
Hobby you need to find a new seed dealer(s). The big ones like Dekalb or Pioneer in our area take back seed and refund and even most of the regionals do also. I won't buy from a company that doesn't.
