crops in ec mn

Thought I would post some pics of what our crops look like. I will be running those oats threw my 77 case pull type combine, and picking some of that corn with my 426 case picker mounted on my 400 diesel. Feel bad for all the ones that are suffering tho.

Sorry bout the double post, didn't think the first one went through

Looks nice, you musta picked up a tad of rain in the past 3 weeks.

Over here by New Ulm, things look good yet, but boy it's getting dry for the corn to put on a full ear. Some oats & wheat has been harvested, I'm thinking by the end of the week mine might be ready to swath.

Both oats and corn are very nice. It seems east central MN ha some of the best crops in the state, and possibly the midwest, from what I hear from other guys.

That is some of the nicest looking oats I have ever seen in my life. All you see is grain no straw.

We got a very nice 2" rain couple a days ago. We would be good for the year now since this is on heavy clay soil.

Looks good. But how tall are you? If yer only 3' tall it wouldn't be as impressive!

Great pictures, nice looking oats. I have some corn tasseling that's as tall as your oats with no ear to speak of. You better go to Church for an extra service this weekend.

Our corn looks the same here, SE of St. Cloud. Probably a little over 8 ft. tall with tassles. I have 4 acres of conventional corn that I'm going to pick with a single row New Idea and my WD. Our renter's RR corn looks about the same as mine. Looks like I did OK with just cultivating and no spray this year. Got .40" rain on Friday night. Our soil is heavy black dirt, so we've never had much problem with moisture. So when do you think we will be picking corn?

I have 2 acres of oats and alfalfa that's about as high as in your picture. Started to strip graze it on Sunday. Lucky cows.
