So far , what Ive shellled has ran anywheres from 60bu- 170bu. Just depends on the stand and how many terraces there are. Seems all the rain we had this spring screwed me more than the dry and hot july and august.

Seems all the rain we had this spring screwed me more than the dry and hot july and august. Were seeing the same thing, on the river bottoms where the water didn't stunt it going through the field the monitor would hit 211, where the water stunted it might go down to 16. We've had less rain down there then anywhere.

I correct myself; hadn't gotten out to the farm for a week or two; hadn't been called to work on anything. Beans are halfway calfshit yellow and corn is starting to decide to fade from green. With a day and a half of wet right now, I doubt anything will be drying up real quick. I promise pictures and numbers as they come along. Not expecting anything like last year's amazing numbers, though.

Hand checked some early 105rm corn today - 23.5%, 110rm checked at 25-26%.
Had figured on doing beans first, but this moisture surprised me, still a lot of green in the leaves/stalks.

Back into corn yesterday. Everything under 19%, one early number is coming in around 16%.
Yields are surprisingly good. Running in 225+ @18% corn now, a 110rm Wyffels number.

Combined all day, after trucking in one load at 7 a.m.
17.1% moisture, 58 test weight , 97 day Jung Seed Genetics 7S435 RIB corn.
Running good. Standing like fence posts. No calls from ECI so there were no break downs, come aparts, etc. Some deer feeding damage near the woods as usual. Shot at a coyote but he must have been wearing a kevlar vest........

Don't shoot at the coyotes!! They might catch a deer or two and if they can't do that they should clean up what the hunters wound and hopefully keep the antlers out of your tires.

Every area is different. Coyotes here are out of control. The deer are not.
And hey, we have hunters who can hit those deer when they shoot...........well 'er.......well .............did you know that WI has the best cheeses.......

I used to make two of those cheeses, mozzarella and provonello, at Grande Cheese in Wyocena.
Corn started last night, late, heading out now to haul first loads in.

first two loads of corn, 832bu@18.9% corrected to 803, and 330 @19.5% corrected to 301bu. Big load is the double extended Killbros 375's in tandem, light load is the M&W 350 alone.

Ah, the "mafia" cheese.........
Anyhoooo, corn harvest is moving right along here. Decent test weights, 17 to 20% moisture. Yields not as good as last year when the weather was dang near perfect but still above normal yields.

Electrical gremlin on 1460 stalled yesterday out. So I can relax in the morning and sleep 8 hours for once. Sometimes a 12 hour night shift 30 miles away is not a good thing.

Corn harvest progressing nicely here at Ft. Cheddar. So far no come aparts. Not enough rain to slow us down.
Be safe, we don't have time to attend your funeral......
