First Pass of The Year

We are a little late this year and still a good bit of moisture but made a few passes to make way for picker. Just snapped this picture cause camera was beside me. For some of you guys out west those tall forked things at the end of the field are trees.

It will be more than a month before we start chopping corn here (WI). Combining is even farther off. Corn is still green as can be, and filling the kernels. 38" rows?
 
Saw some this past week that was combined already in Mo. or Ks., can't remember which it was. Some looked like it was ready or else it was pretty burnt up but looked like it had ears hanging down.
 
Moisture I'm sure was high but sold it all to deer hunters to use right away. Most of our corn we sell on the cob to bait with.

James I would like to think so but if we get 60% I'll be happy.Good to see you posting again.

36in. Dry weather hurt a lot of corn around here ours not so bad as it was late.

Was the "woods" clear cut, ot still thin from Hugo? Last time I was down that way, I could still see some damage, even 20 years later, although it was harder to tell...
 
Fordfarmer: I am not that far from you and mine is denting already. I will be chopping in the next week. I am lucky that I have not gotten the Goss wilt. It is real bad down around Cascade. A few of the farmers are going to be hit real bad.
 
The first I planted -may- be starting to dent, but almost everything around here went in late. I got two small fields in on May 19 and 22, but didn't finish until June 9th. That's what I will be chopping. May start green chopping it in a couple weeks.

Want to see some tall trees? Come out west to Washington State, and those trees look like tooth-picks in comparison. :lol:
