bts-4120 Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 more than likely the delta ie. from the bootheel of MO. South everybody should be done in the Delta, some are other than late beans, some have alot of rice and cotton (what a joke this year) still in the field, some corn but its so sorry I don't think anybody is worried about cutting it and NOV. around the corner and another 8" of rain on the way I'm not laughing most farmers should be planning which beach to have turkey dinner on not this time, looks like a month of mud and water that is if there is anything left to cut, we don't get to wait on the big freeze down here, if you equipment can't get it out it's a loss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haus4350 Posted October 29, 2009 Author Share Posted October 29, 2009 north al. no cotton thank goodness...or corn either this year. still have about 1250 acres of 1500 acres of beans to go. my 4s were 20-36% damage...anything over 20% only sells for $5 a bushel....ouch! gonna put up some bins....could have built a big bin with all these discounts this yr.

Gambi80 Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 We have about 90% of our acreage in corn. Most everybody you talk to has 29-31% moisture still...drying it down is almost more of a concern than getting it out of the field. Sorry I derailed your topic by the way...

Sorry I derailed your topic by the way...I've always been amazed how they can easily grow 200 plus corn on non irrigated ground, that kind of yeild with no irrigation or land leveling cost I think I could afford to dry it down, there was alot of 30-35% corn shelled down here, the guys with driers will be alright, the ones that put it in the bin and run heat and air, might be something else (it usually doesn't want to come out) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure it's "just" a one time major investment, but the up-keep and so on would have to compound the input costs... Quote Ever wonder how a blind person knows when to stop wiping?

Ill. up there irrigation is a option down here its not no water no rice no water most bankers won't even talk about a crop loan dry land varies so much you could luck out and cut 130bu corn dry land but no rain and its 50bu. beans is the same, up keep on pivots is not as bad as you would think pretty trouble free, fuel cost is what drives up the bottom line, rice I have seen $100 a acrea just in irritagtion fuel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
