“Phantom Yield Loss”. Corn harvested on 9/16 @ 25.3% yielded 309.3 dry bu. Same corn harvested 10/3 @ 18.1% yielded 287.5 bu. At 1.4% shrink and $.03 cent per point drying charge, early harvested corn netted an extra $31.70 per acre.
HARVEST 19 - I am looking for the 19 best pictures from this fall to put in a picture book. Send me your picture with a short caption and if it makes the book I will send you a copy. Give me some love and retweet -
BRANDT Waverly yield guess is 220 bu/A. Several “seed experts” expecting yields to be flat to 20 bu below lasts years corn average. Range of 165 bu on the low side to 282 bu on the high end.
“Harvest 22”. I NEED YOUR HELP - please send me your best harvest pictures and give me a retweet. I will send a book to 3 random contributors if you make the top 22. Fall colors and harvest are in full bloom here in Illinois, it’s my favorite time of the year!
After 17 years I “walked the tracks” to get back home to CHS Lowder. Lots of good memories there. Thanks to all those who have helped with my success. Hope I didn’t disappoint. Here is to NEW BEGINNINGS.
227.03 bu/acre. Brandt Waverly yield “guess” contest. 16 area fields, 4 random ears, 33,295 harvest population, 80,000 kernels/bu. Low guess yield of 166 near Palmyra - High guess yield of 272 near Thayer.
Don’t know the cardinals record - have no idea who is left in the NBA playoffs - heard maybe the blues got eliminated? No interest in a crowdless NFL. Feels like a divorce but I’m getting through it one day at a time.
Fun afternoon at Holzwarth Flying Service, completed with a flyover. Holzwarth has 11 planes and coops with another 19 enabling them to apply 90,000 acres a day. Ed Corrigan and Wade Meteer we’re on hand to answer questions.

I remember going to Cahokia Mounds on a field trip. A huge mound of dirt built 2000 years ago. And at the same time the Romans were completing the coliseum. Let’s give the Italians this one day for all the progress they brought to the Americas.
Farmers receive 14 cents for every dollar spent at the grocery store. The US spends less than any other country in the world - 6.4% of household income.

I’ve got mine, but yes - otherwise healthy people are waiting to see which vaccines are most effective and\or most harmful. I respect that.
300 bu. Corn!! 10 random plants @ .523# ears x 32,122 harvest population. 16.4 round x 35.2 long calculates to 231.7 bu estimate. Seeing some late season ear disease.
There is never a “bad year” to put on Potash, but some years are better than others. Yields are good, K is fairly priced, soybean prices are still relatively strong. Seeing some tremendous top end bean yields on “A” soils when potassium levels are high.

Isn’t there like 9,400 crypto currencies out there? New ones coming everyday? Gold is old and slow but sometimes Tortoise wins the race

Potash prepaid?, picked up at terminal?, blended?, bundled with other products?, VRT spread?, different quality grades?, billing spits with landlords?, fill tons vs prepaid tons vs in-season tons?, and that’s just simple old Potash. Got to make a margin to stay in business.
My relaxing Sunday afternoon crop walk has given me indigestion. At $4.72 I need this corn to make 240 - it ain’t gonna happen. Late tar spot infestation around field edges as a kicker.
1.5 years into this pandemic and I am completely confused. I see stadiums at full capacity, a few covid related deaths, kids way behind scholastically, Israel is having trouble - India is getting better? I don’t want to get covid, worse than that I’m losing faith in leadership!
