Andy-My son took over the farm 5 years ago and we were talking the other day about every farmer has a year they remember-his will be 2019-mine was 1982. We had our nh-3 on and had our corn herbicide on-Monsanto had a thing called surface-blend-a shallow incorporation of Lasso + Atrazine so we had to plant corn--Nobody turned a wheel in May around here-got back in the field June 6th. Could not get any earlier corn so I planted what I had-Pioneer 3732 and 3780. NEVER, NEVER, Never I told myself will I again plant corn in June again! We joke about it now--Finally got 82's bills paid in 2012. Called it our 40-40-40 corn-40 bu. per acre-40% moisture-40 lb. test weight. Crap wouldn't keep and nobody wanted it. The cob on the 3732 was green and rubbery. The elevator in Westgate had a 100,000 bu. bin (big back then) catch on fire from spontaneous combustion. They took a long reach excavator and peeled it open to put the smoldering crap out. We are 125 mi. North of you and the hybrids are better now and it depends on the weather and when the first frost hits. Soooooo-that is my experience with June planted corn--Did I say NEVER again? We did not have crop insurance then so GOOD LUCK to you and keep us informed-My Son still has 140 acres of beans to plant but there is a lot of corn to be planted around here--God be with you Andy---Tee

Today's Featured Article - The 8N and the Fox - by Zane Sherman. Dec. 13 1998, Renfroe, Alabama. Last niht I dreamed about the day that I plowed the field of about 10 acres over on what Jimmy and Dandy called the Ledbetter field. I was driving the 1948 8N Ford tractor that Jimmy bought in 48 new This was prebably in about 1951 and maybe even befor the house was built. This would have made me to be about16 years old and I drove the tractor for nothing and would have paid to drive it if I had had any money which I didn't, but neit
