saw a dude combining his soybeans about a week ago when the water was raising, the stems were green and the water (flooding) was getting closer to him, his crop was only about a foot tall, now the water is about 4 ft deep where he was harvesting. others near and around him were not as lucky as he was. I also saw one farmer getting all his equipment out of his shed and parking it up around his house. his house was built on a raised berm. the shed was not. he musta flooded out the last 2 times there.

one of my buddies said the flood waters were going into his corn fields along the river, said he couldn't do anything about it and said he was going fishing...left for Canada the next morning! the lucky bugger!

I was in Lucas County Ohio Thursday and farmer was running corn. Said it was 20% moisture. Some soybeans combined here in southern Michigan. Friday, Saturday and today Sunday rain. 2 3/4" in rain gauge.

At 20% moisture I would be running balls to the wall to get it out! --- From what I have heard here its 35% or higher yet.

Beans coming out in Jasper/Marshall Co. Iowa. Some corn too. If the weather would straighten out I think my beans would go in about a week. Checked the corn this week, was about 23%.

Here corn is down to 13-14% and they have started on beans.
In the last 6-7 weeks, we have had 2- 1/2" and 3-4 not even laying the dust rains.
A lot of farmers started feeding hay 1-2 weeks ago.
For me, it is the breeding season for my sheep and instead of feeding 3/4 lbs of grain a day, I am feeding 1 1/2 lbs per day, plus hay.
That will be app 5 tons of grain in 30 days.
