Anyone able to confirm this for me , or is he just pulling my leg. When I was there last year, we saw no corn , just small grain and soy. Bruce [Reply]   [No Email]

It kind of took the place of sunflowers I think. Still have sunflowers but not as many acres. Some farmers say the hot weather came too soon with no rain and the corn may not be as good. Time will tell. [Reply]  [No Email]

This area used to grow only a little silage corn (20-40 years ago), but now their are many good corn and bean varieties that do well in our short growing season and lower rainfall. Right in my area of central ND, expectations are for 150+ bu corn and 50bu soybeans. Look at the US drought map, very little of ND is involved. Supprisingly, the RR Valley which was the earliest and best corn and bean area of ND is suffering pretty badly from drought. [Reply]  [No Email]

They have had good rains all season. There was many reports of 100 bu spring wheat without irrigation and record being set in other crops. [Reply]  [No Email]

Then corn broke $5 a B and now there a good number of corn fields there now. Seems that the newer corn seed can yield 200 BPA in the colder areas now. Would not be a bit shocked if they were growning corn like mad out there now. Rick [Reply]  [No Email]
