Holy smokes! It's a bin-buster!

This may not mean lots to you who aren't rurally-inclined, but the local news just reported that the average yield-per-acre for corn here (so far) is 207 bushels per acre (normal here is 155-180). As more farmers harvest, they expect the yield to go UP, since that is the historical trend!

Wow! :thumbsup:

1. Good, but...

...what's that going to do to prices?

2. I'm glad someones

corn came up! Ours started great and then just turned brown and died in the drought. Your surplus will make up for some of the loss from Kansas.

3. Sorry to hear it.

Our beans are so-so.

4. The beans I have seen

looked good for awhile also then they just turned yellow. I have not listened to the reports since I am a grass farmer and I had a so so crop. It gets so hot so early anymore that the brome heads up in April thus cutting off the next month or so of growing. Actually our spring was great, everything took off then the rain stopped and the temps soared. You guys had a bunch of rain this summer, correct? Do you have a bean crop or corn?

5. We got 'million-dollar' rains

Not too much, not too little, and every single one at just the right moment! The beans are 'eh' (35-ish) but the corn is "OMFG!"; in fact, the corn is so good that the elevators are all full, and the harvest is just half over. :)

6. it is not the rain, it's the lack of high temps

that gives the high yields
