Combines Yields

I am located in North Missouri close to I-35 a few miles south of the Iowa line. The corn if it didn't get flooded or loose the nitrogen looks like we should average around 150-160 bu. The beans look good but we are getting a lot of SDS in some fields. The range on beans is hard to tell yet but 35 to 50 should catch a lot of them with some going up to 60.

You are quite correct about a narrow band of frost damage running into sw minnesota. However if the frost holds off my area of South Dakota will have a hugh crop...Pipestone west the crops are looking very good...but need heat units to finish it off.

N.E. Texas. We have been in drought also. Corn yield average about 50 bu_ac heavy alfa toxin dock. Soybean 18 bu_ac. Help! Bright spot - The old N7 has covered 1000 acres with no problems. But I have never had problems with it during harvest. 350 acres remaining of soybeans. It want take long.

I wished bragging about good yields would do the same for the farmer as record profits do for the oil companys. Does anyone else agree.

I really didn't think the corn they were harvesting at the FPS was 150 bu corn, They said it was running 30 to 35 %, maybe it was 150 BEFORE they dried it down. I thought the A85 looked pretty good in that wet corn with lots of whole cobs coming out the back and knocking all the corn off also.

I did not intend for my comments to be taken as bragging. I'm sorry if you took it that way. I was simply looking for an exchange of information that might help us all as we try to figure out what the price might do. I really appreciate the previous gentlemen's comments since he was obviously at the show.

Here in N.W.Ala. corn is running from 30 to 120 bushels. Showers were widely scattered, with most places with little or no rain all summer. I just shelled my neighbor's field and it ran 118 bushels per acre. Some of mine won't even make good hay, and some of my best may run in the 80 or 90 range.

I must appologize about my comment too. I must have been in a bad mood yesterday. I would just like to figure out how the oil industry can do it and not us. On farm diesel is as much as 20 cents above unleaded gasoline here.
