What's your take on the new gov.crop report? I think the yeilds are still high from what I see hear in Wi.Any harvesting going on in your area?Thanks

It's hard to say. Yields will be all over the board.

I don't think they will ever know for sure. Even when it's in the bin.

Next summer we will know when the supply starts to run out.

All I know for sure is there will be a lot of unfull bins in this area.

Bean guesstimate may be fairly close. Corn may be high yet.

The worst of the corn is getting combined in my area and it ranges from 25 to 60 bushels per acre. Normally 170 to 220. I know of 80 acres that made 40 on 90+ CSR ground.

I think It will end up higher. The corn in many areas is better than they thought. You are just seeing your small snap shot of the country. I have friends in SD that are having bumper crops. If we don't have an early frost then upper MN will have much better than normal crops.

So you add in all the areas that are at normal or above and the extra acres that got planted and the crop is not going to be as bad as many though/hoped.

Local corn around here is already a dollar under the high price. The price is already rationing usage like it should. The world as we know it is not ending. We have had good crops for 10-15 years around me here in Iowa. We where over due for a low yield one. Many guys where running around saying that the new average was going to be 200 bushels. They are finding out why the 10 year average is in the 150-160 bushel range.

In my life time short reported crops tend to get larger as the harvest progresses. You can look at 1983 and 1988 and see that.

Brother tells me that corn in their area averaged 90 bu/acre; last year some of it went up to 225 bu/acre.

Soybeans are running 40 bu/acre, lower than last year. My nephew farms 60 miles away on normally lower yielding land; he got more rain showers and his beans look like they will run 50 bu/acre or maybe even a bit more. Plants are loaded with pods from top to bottoms on nephew's farm.

I wonder where in SD that was. I'm in SE SD. I drove 18 rounds with a JD 9760 with a 8-row head in a quarter-mile field and didn't get the combine filled.
