Combines corn and soybean yields

[budlight]

hello! Here in West Kentucky we have finished shelling corn on our farm. WE had yields of corn anywhere from 150 dry to 260 wet at 19%. WE finished shelling 900 acres on Sept 15. Best corn ever and we went across scales at bin at 170 bpa dry!! I've cut 100 acres of full season beans that went only 45. I was rather dissappointed -wishing for more like 60+. However I cut some wheat beans today that were from 45 to 50 bpa. The bean is dry as a bone and the stem still lacks 5 to 7 days. We will get rain for 4or 5 days so we plan to pick up sewing wheat and cutting beans after the ground dries. Just if anyone reads this, has anyone ever burnt off their corn stalks after shelling. We did that this year before the first disking and we will get by on 3 diskings, including disking the wheat in. We have very little residue in the field. Hoping this will boost wheat yields by cutting disease.

Here in Ontario bean yeilds have be the worst in anyones memory. Soyabeans 6-25 bu_ac with poor quality, coloured bean 5-10 bags_ac with poor quality. Have heard yeilds alittle higher in some isolated spots around woodlots in small acreages. Normally we would get 45-60 bu_ac soyas and 15-25 bags_ac colours. Hopefully the corn will be better but I think 100-125 bu_ac will catch most of the crop where it would be 135-175 bu_ac on an average year. We had almost no rain from early July to the end of August with many 95+ days. We also had a major infestation of aphids in the beans. Hopefully next year will be better

Tank you wouldnt be of the Chatham O'neils would yaIJ Im in Essex county and like you say the bean yields are the worst in memory, even the old timers are shaking thier heads. When guys pull into 100acre fields and cant fill a set of gravity boxes( 2x500bu) you know things are bad.We havent started corn ourselves . We have a few fields that look like they might got 150 but others will struggle to hit 75 i fear. An average in the 100-110bu range will probably be tops.

Here in southern Indiana corps are real good we have run beans in the low 70's and most around 60 it has been a good harvest so far looking forward to wheat .. anybody no-till drilling wheat IJ we have been doing it for a longtime and it is great ..happy harvesting !

In east central Arkansas soybeans are in the 45-65+ bu. range for full season irrigated beans.We have just started the wheat beans and they look to be 50-55 bu.There`s very little corn grown here.Rice is our major cash crop. lots of 200+ bu.Overall a bumper crop.

We no-tilled all of our wheat into soybean stubble this year. We usually like to plant our wheat after edible beans, but we didn't grow any this year.

We are just starting soybeans here in East Central MN. So far they are running 35-40 bu_acre which is about average for this area. Some of our more sandy ground will be lower but considering the year we've had we are pretty happy. Corn hasnt started yet but it will likely be on the low side. Its been an odd year...cold and very wet this spring and early summer, then it was very hot and dry. And now its wet again so its hard to find dry beans.

No not near Chatham, just north of london but I am farmilar with the area, have friends in that area from my Ridgetown days. All this rain is sure drawing out this already poor harvest. I am afraid there may not be a next year for a few in the area with this being two years of bad crops.

RCAT class of 91 here !!!. I have many of the same fears.. i can see some of the big guys going under and not coming back up... In our area alot of guys work in the auto plants ,so some will weather things well,,, unfortunately that makes it hard for us full time guys to compete..when someone got chrysler or ford backing them it makes it hard for full timers to compete for land rent etc.
