Remember the other day I told you my corn here in S. Mn. was going 190/bpa.? Well that was just judging by how much was in combine tank. Yesterday I had a weigh wagon come out. One variety was 221/bpa. adjusted to 15% moisture. Another was 179/bpa. It's drizzling right now so no picking today. I did haul some dry corn in to store at elevator this morning. I only have enough on farm storage for 1/3 my corn. To old to put up more bins. I like the convenience of storing at elevator. When comes time to sell, just make a phone call. If I were a younger man or had child that was going to take over farm then I would put up more storage. But I'm the end of the line.
 
Same here on storage..... elevator is less than a mile from my driveway, dad picked his corn on the ear so there was nothing here to start with, the electric supply was a 60 amp main fuse and wire sized for 40 amp runs for the entire farm.

By the time I got built up to afford new wiring and all, it doesn't pay to put up a dryer and storage for the gpfew years to go. I have a wood grainery that can hold 3000 bu, and got a little free 1500 bu bin I put on a feeding platform so I can store small grains and a bit of dry corn or beans.

Great crop! Will try the corn this coming week. Crop looks good and I think we will be above our 5 year farm average here on 170 bpa. I don't think it will beat the record we set here in 2015. I used to store about 1/3 of the crop here, forward contract some and stored some at the elevators. Not sure what to do this year, some is contracted out. Ben
 
Was to dry for top yeilds here when needed and now going to be a wet fall to finish everything up. Beans going terrible. Haven't even tried any corn yet. Will be mudding things out from here out if it keeps raining.
