How is this possible? I thought you guys couldn't plant until the umpteenth of June and shorter maturity seed wasn't available or worth the trouble anyway???  Dang I-state corn stars anyway....flooding the market for us 150 bu northerners!

| 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. |

| 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. ------------- http://machinebuildersnetwork.com/ |

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. |
