Central Ohio....Beans are at 13% with yeilds form 48 to 62 depending on how early they got planted. Better yeilds on beans with all the rain we got mid summer. Everyone is running and Corn is at 20 to 26% with yeilds at 200 plus. Should be a good year for our area. |

Learn how to farm and you won't have to lie about your yields. |

NW Wisconsin best fields average about mid 30's, low as 10. Wet, late, cold planting then hot when beans were forming pods and filling out killed us. Sucks. |

If you just opened the field up where are you coming up with 250+. bpa. I am a farmer and I have a monitor in the combine that will hit 250 and more, but when the field is all done the average will be lower than that. I love when you go to the coffee shop and someone picks the biggest number that the yield monitor said and they say thats what the corn is making. Show me some scale tickets is what I always tell them. |

I agree with all of the above comments. I will say that some people do go and talk to land owners how good they farm, and some do use the highest yield monitor numbers, but it is the best way to use the field average to say what your yields made cause most fields have several different soil types and rainfall can vary from one end to the other. Yields in my area a very respectful compared to last year, corn probably average and beans little better than average, very thankful for what we are getting. Good luck to all as harvest progresses.

I agree with what you are saying. I love the monitor, and when used right it can tell you alot about how the field is doing. Ours is very accurate and will be very close to the elevator scales. It is a very valuable tool for the farmer. |

Had a quarter section that we ground ear corn on with our self propelled chopper that doesn't have a yield monitor so we had an insurance adjuster come out. He got 189. I feel like that is pretty accurate, it usually takes us a full 7 day week to fill our bunker and we nailed it down in 3 1/2 days this year the corn just flew out the chute and it was tough to go very fast at all or you would pull the motor down on the cutter. We have had one day of bean combining on our river bottom ground and the monitor says anywhere from 45-65 thinking 48 - 50 is going to be a good average in the low ground and have heard reports of high ground getting better yields becasue it was so wet in the draw early this spring. Hoping to get some 60 bu beans on the side hills.
Safe harvest to everyone and have fun in the shops this winter buildin new machines or fixing old ones. |

Have just started doing High Moisture corn. Some of the best yields in a long time. How are you handling the low corn prices? I hoped we would get at least $6.00 corn this year. Knew the bottom would drop out at some point. We don't contract. Try to sell HMSC to local farmers but not many Dairy farms left in our area so a lot goes to local mills. Good luck to all !! |

Re: harvest

good point
|
you bring up a good point. I was on here last year arguing that the prices would fall out if we just had a wet summer. i was blown away at how many argued with me that it would never happen because of the gov't buying corn for ethanol and other reasons. i think we see now that it still comes back to supply and demand, and supply is great this year, and corn prices are back in reason. |
