Combines Crop report interest

We got off to a pretty good start around here, but have since gotten dry. We just got 3_4" of rain this past Tues and that was the first real rain we've had in the past month or so. Corn is looking pretty good despite this, with rolling leaves on sandy knolls and real light soils. Have even seen bottom leaves turning brown due to lack of moisture in these areas. We are coming up on tassling, so the next month or two will be critical. 10 day forcast on weather.com today shows no real good chance for additional rain. Soybeans are looking good so far, but another week of hot, dry weather and I suspect we'll start to see stress in them too. I should add, however, this far north in WI has no effect on markets even if we burn up to nothing.

Mom's cousin in Central Mo.(Boonville)had wheat that ranged 40 to 75 bu per acre, his best was planted last, Nov 2nd. He had about 80 acres of this. About 300 acres he planted between Oct 2 and 10th ranged 40 to 50, then he got rained out for a few weeks and finished late in his mind at the time, He had no idea it would pay off as it did. Most corn was planted around here April 23 or later, we have had plenty or rain for corn so far, we are making national news closeby. Beans we got in much later cause of corn going in late and lots of rain, and actually to much rain when they were coming up, we had some beat up and drounded out in creek bottoms. I guess I should be happy with one good crop and get a medium on the second. All in all pretty good for most around here. Hopefully prices can rebound by fall on corn, looks like hedgehogs have sold all interest in corn the last two weeks. Good luck to all

In east cental Iowa corn and beans look good, about 15-20 % of the corn tasseling and silking, some uneveness in the corn, beans are just starting to bloom and Japanese beatles are flaring in spots.Rain has been timely so far, but we seem to be starting a warm stretch.

We have 90% damage to wheat from freeze and flooding. 20" to 30" inches for June in SE Ks. started cutting again today, most of it is sprouted. Soybeans are about 10% planted becouse of flooding. Corn looks good on the high ground but again we lost 20% of our crop to creeks and rivers. All of our river ground this year will produce NO crops.

Wheat here in Northwest Ala. went from 0 to the 70's being the best per acre. My worst was 10 bushels planted Oct 26 and my best went mid 70's per acre planted the last of Nov. Overall my average ran 45 bushels. My worst wheat before the freeze was my best, and my best before the freeze was my worst. We had 1_2 inch of rain on my corn from April to mid June, the corn looked real bad maybe total lost but in mid June we had some showers 1_2 to 2 1_2 inches and it really turned most of my corn around and are still having pop-up showers and it is tasseling and most of it looks like it may run 140-160 bushels one farm 10 miles away missed most showers and it will run closer to 100 bushels. But the corn is still not made and not in the bin so anything can happen (hurricane),other areas here have had no showers or they are to late and their corn is real bad maybe total loss....Beans got a late start because of no spring rain to plant in, but a lot of beans have been planted in the past two weeks since we have had some showers, some still planting. So to early to tell on the beans but the late planting will hurt the yeald... Cotton looked bad early but with the showers lately it looks pretty good now... Pastures are short and some feeding hay and not a lot of hay made so a lot of cattle will still be going to market here. I rolled up around 400 rolls of my cover crop and should be ok with my hay but my ponds are still low and need some runoff to fill back with, or like last year I will be hauling water again.

Just finished harvesting here in NW Kansas. First I must say that we haven't had much of a wheat crop in the last 6 out of 7 years. This year was a great crop. I average 55 to 66 bushels per acre. This was white wheat that had about a 64 pound test weight with one semi load that tested 66. I usually only fertilize for 45 bushel wheat, the guys that really pour the fertilizer on, finally had it pay off with wheat in the 80's and 90's bushel per acre. But this is just a small corner of Kansas that had this kind of crop. Our elevators were about to have to pile some on the ground but rail cars showed up just in time so they didn't have to. One manager told me today that when it first started he thought it was going to be a bigger crop than it was, but it tappered off real quick. Kurt

We've gotten about 1 inch of rain here in WC Iowa since the first of May. Corn on sand ground is already shot. On heavy ground it looks okay early in the morning but is rolling its leaves by 10am. This following the wettest spring in years. Beans are standing still. If rain comes, they could still do well.

We have only had about 2" since the first of May here in Western NY. Corn still looks good but needs water bad and soon, bottom leaves starting to turn yellow. Wheat looks good and should be ready in a day or two.

For the most part crops look good in south central ne. Depending on if in right spot when it rains. Was just told by scouts today to spray all acres for gray leaf spot. Coming on here fast and way to early to not affect yield they said. Good thing I have contracted all my corn for 4 bucks a bushel like the magazines said we have. Going to need it
