We were out to Colby KS, western part, today. Things are starting to burn up again. Grass turning brown, corn is burning up again for the second time. Looks like some of that would go as high moisture to one of the feedlots but never seen anything but a chopper going. I'm guessing there's not much corn in it. Irrigated looks good.

OH SHIT!!!! Talk about hail damage. Holy shit, I have never seen so much hail damage in my life. I know it runs past Goodland and at least as far north as Imperial Nebraska from what I've been told and see. Some of the beans are nothing but stalks. Some corn doesn't even have stalks above the ear. I'm thinking lots of that corn will be hard pressed to be over 130-150 on the irrigated. This on land that should be doing a hundred better than that.

The dryland corn is all over the board. If it was planted into wheat stubble there is a decent corn crop out there. Lots of Con C nearly burnt up then late summer rains got it going again. I walked out in some like that around here and it has an ear on about every sixth stalk, it's like a rubber cob and only about 4 to six inches long. Just crap but it will probably have to go to harvest.
It has been raining north of I 70, that's about the dividing line. South of there looks like shit warmed over.

600 GPM Deep 10" well, and it could not keep up. I think for a 2 month stretch I never shut it down. Just to make you feel better, I harrowed down the dryland, wasn't anything there. New state record was set this year on corn, 353 bu. acre. Thats what I mean. Most guys around here couldn't come close to 200bu per acre unless they were pumping 10gpm per acre. Around here 30 acres would have at least 700 GPM. and still struggle to maintain adequate moisture. Most guys are set up for closer to 5gpm per acre. (Or just west of me, nobody waters around here) Im sure the record corn was closer to 10 or 15gpm per acre. Ive got some 100bu corn that had more water put on it than ever before and it hasn't made under 200 sinse I started watering it. ( 30 acres, 200gpm pump) Around here 30 acres would have at least 700 GPM. and still struggle to maintain adequate moisture. |

We are good two weeks away from starting. Thought with all the heat and dry it would be drier, but not quite black layered yet. Beans are just beginning to turn.

What a difference even a small rain can make.I just finished one 80 acre farm that caught about a half inch on the east side while the west side didn't get get hardly any during the third week of July.Started on the west side shelling 75-80 bu. corn and by the time I got done was shelling 140-180 bu. corn.Field ave.111bpa.The neighbor east of this field carried a 144 ave.What could have been ......Every where else I've been 70-87 is where it is yeilding.Sucks shit but it is what it is.
