I bet there wasn't even a quarter inch of rain with it.
It's like the saying "looks like a monkey trying to screw a football".
This year I think I'm the football. It is too bad. At least the monkey gets his jollies.

Is there a shortage of steel bin material. Must be a nightmare to get stuff built if you are lucky enough to harvest some. In 2005 I had a straight line wind blow down every bin in the yard. That was july 5 and the contractor was still building the new bins when we were trashing. How hard hit did the south west corner of iowa get hit. A close friend past a way at the end of july , that lived near council bluff. Wondered how his renters are making out.

It's funny (not in a HA HA kind of way) how an area can get into a brutal weather pattern and can't seem to shake it. You have certainly had a rough year. My area has been the year of extremes, so wet to start because of last fall, then bone dry, to flash flood, bone dry again with high temps and humidity. Almost daily weather watches or warnings, and 3-4 tornado warnings, my area never gets tornado warnings! We have been struggling to get any crop off, but as soon as we can hammer it through we are going to get it off. Sure hope things can turn around for you guys down there and next year will be a little kinder!

it gets to the point where you're kind if excited to see what happens next. Its relaxing now. I don't give a crap about this crop anymore, it's crop insurance problem.

Sounds like insurance adjusters are getting tough. What options do you have and how would you harvest 72 bushels an acre on a downed corn crop. Adjusters should be questioned on there counts. Why is corn not rallying like soybeans on the CBOT. Isnt it tough enough to silage flat corn.

I'd say that's a fair adjustment just picking the stalks that are standing. You have to remember the morning of August 10 that same corn on his farm was probably 225 bpa. Another I did came in at 117 bpa standing but ear loss chopping really dropped it, these stalks have virtually no ear retention, that field was 217 last year. A lot of 250-270 bpa corn will be 100-150 now.
This corn market will rally. The derecho cut yields in half over a very large swath and the severe drought has cut a larger swath of decreased yields.
Corn burnt up last week in August does not point to high yields. Soybeans dying the last 10 days do not point to high yields.
More corn getting the iron treatment daily.

An hour at that party would be enough for me. Hopefully your hangover is not too bad when you are done.

Look at it this way, at least you aren't trying to chisel your corn out of a snowdrift!
