How are the crop yielding in your area???

The corn around here is variable this year. The dry weather hurt the lighter soils on yield. The leaf blight really hit some hybrids harder than others. The good ground with manure and a higher organic matter are breaking 200 BPA. The lighter soils are running 170-180 BPA. The boys ran a field for one of their customers that the leaf blight hit hard and it was only 140 BPA. The same variety that was aerial sprayed with fungicide just across the fence made 185 BPA. So on some varieties the fungicide paid dividends.

The soybeans are a whole different story. They are yielding better than any I have ever seen. Lots of 70 BPA fields. The boys have a rented sixty acre field. It made 83 BPA across the scales in town. WOW The yield monitor showed some spots going well over 100 BPA. It looks like their entire crop is going to average over 70 BPA. That sure helps offset the slightly lower price. They do have a fair amount forward contracted for a much better than current market price. With the higher yields they will have more unsold right now. We are debating storing them or not. I do not see much up movement for the corn. Where soybeans could rally much more. So storing them over a like amount of corn seems a better risk right now.

So how are your yields in your area/state??? These are in North-East Iowa.

Too early to tell on corn not much shelled yet. Beans are anywhere from 12 on up. It depending on how much water damage you had. I know of one field of corn where insurance estimated it at 85 BPA. That is on soil would do 175 BPA +. South of me and west of me things are worse. This is in Northwest Ohio

Had a 20 acre field yeild 233 bu./ac. Best yield previously was 165. Across the road, 19.6 acres yielded 204. Best previously was 125ish. This was planted in Twin-Row 30". Still have some to pick. Hope is stands all this rain we are getting in Central VA.

Soybeans may be a different story. Two 0.1" showers was all the rain we got in August! Some look "good", those planted one week later, "fair to middlin'!"

SE Il. Wet all summer. Low ground flooded. But was all planted back into beans. But the corn that made it seems to be between 130 and 190. most 175 or so. Soybeans are good but we haven't cut any yet.

Individual corn fields have run from 65 to 180 bushels per acre....Complete farm averages are mostly 120-150 bushels per acre....Harvest is 95% done..

Most of the soybeans were planted late because it was so wet in May and June......What few fields that have been cut are running from 30-50 bushels per acre..We are very dry and the later planted beans are really hurting....Some people planted until mid-late July....In the past 6 weeks we have only had 1.5 inches of rain....The 10 day outlook is for more dry weather..

I've sure got my fingers crossed on beans. They were the best looking crop I've seen. This was also the first year I planted any Liberty beans. I did about 400 acres of those and 350 RR STS acres. I sure am impressed with Liberty. I guess we will see when it's in the bin. We sure don't have yields like JD. I would love to think that I could have a 70 BPA field, but I can't recall anything higher than 60's. Guys that are cutting have been disappointed with their yield. We had a great year, but not a lot of blistering hot or dry. There was nothing to stress the plants and throw them into a bloom. They all bloomed well, but kind of lazily.

I'm am expecting yields to be good enough that I am going to bin all of the beans on my ground. The landlords will get sold immediately, but I am going to play the market a little with my own. It's just time to auger it out. It's not like it costs me to bin it.

The milo looks awesome. I'm a little worried because it is so tall. I'm hoping I won't have any trouble with it feeding into the header and not losing it off the front. I've got an 80 of it and it will really be a bear if I have to fight the whole 80 to get it in.

We are about an hour SW of JD seller, seeing beans do 70BPA on ground that never broke 55, it is unbelievable.

We finished 515 acres of corn about two weeks ago and it averaged 202 across the board.

No corn harvested yet here in SW Ontario, but crop looks good. Soys are just about done, mine ran 49 bu/ac with some in the test plot hitting 60; most fields are about the same. 60 bu/ac is on the high end for this area.

Don't have any crops. Just driving by most fields look like the beans are only a foot or less tall. There are thousands of acres that while they survived the summer are not going to be worth ther harvest bill and then there are thousands of acres that were completely lost due to the rains. Fields under water for month to month and half. Places you could have taken a row boat out through the fields for miles except for tree lines. Anout all the crops I see out there are in the fair to poor range with a few places looking in the good range with hardly any in exclent condition.

It rained all June and a lot of soybeans and corn look poor locally. I am very concerned and the off farm job outlook is equally poor.

In my part of Northwest Iowa by Albert City soy is yielding from the mid fifties to the low seventies. Have not heard any corn yield reports. My corn is looking great but I haven been into the corn with the combine yet. Lots of blight and Gosses Wilt in this area too.

Here in SE MN beans are running mid 50's to 70 bu acre. Mine averaged 60 bu. I am happy with that considering I had alot of white mold, some brown stem rot and sudden death. Without the diseases mine would have been in the seventies too. Corn is all over the board here to. Lots of leaf blights ect.
