Having no clue about corn and silage, do you have to follow the rows like when combining or can you just go where ever?

We can go any direction with a rotary head and running an angle is sometimes the best bet but the flat corn we just can't get under and stalk integrity is terrible head keeps bunching up. Drone imagery from a few of my fields. There were no bare spots before the storm, brown /bare areas are flat dead corn. Attachments:

Cold temps and steady rain since Monday night now, perfect conditions for promoting mold growth in compromised corn. This corn crop is slipping weekly and quickly. A lot of appraisals coming in at 70-120 bpa, in the land of 250+. This is as good as the crop will look, down hill from here.

U.S.D.A. finally could not keep poor production a secret any more. Nice jump in Soybeans prices today! Almost time to start thinking about weather in south America. Like they say small crops get smaller. Its a double edged sword though, because if you have small production from the wind storm and a big price it will just make you feel that much more disappointed.
How are guys dealing with all those flattened, moldy corn acres . Can you burn it off when it dries, or can you disc it in. EITHER way that's a lot of material to get rid of.

I have a friend in Iowa in the south west corner of the state and he told me drought is really affecting the soybeans and on some of the land the yields will be zero from the summer storm. He rents his land out so I was afraid to ask him if he was worried about collecting his 275 dollar an acre rent. Those farmers must get an amazing crop insurance pay out to farm with those costs. Here in Manitoba we would be done like dinner if we depended on our little crop insurance well fair cheques.lol. Its too bad because his land is capable of growing 90 bushel an acre beans.
Wonder what type of financing will be offered by the banks to get thru this financial mess.

Yep, depending on your annual production history (APH) one can easily insure a revenue guarantee of $700-750/acre at 85% coverage.

Need to be clear on that, that is federal crop insurance, may be sold by a private company but it's federal and rules are supposed to be the same across the board for every company, though there are definitely discrepancies in how things are being handled. |

Its an interesting topic, crop insurance, here in Manitoba every year I hear more guys not insuring. If your spread out yields usually average above the 80 per cent coverage. this is a whole new thread!
