Field report

Just curious from some of the members on here what some of the fields are looking like in your area.  We are in central IN and I just saw a friend at dinner this evening that is hoping to resume bean planting tomorrow - they have over 500 acres to do.  The corn in this area can range from looking very good and being almost 6' tall to being yellow from too much water, large areas that are drowned out and everything in between.  Most of the beans look good, but the weed control is gone on a lot of fields.  Just wondering what some areas of OH, IN, IL, IA and other states are looking like.  Good luck guys and stay safe.

Pretty much the same here. Now that the corn is getting taller you can't see the holes as easily but they are still there. Some fields look like crap and the one next to it will be nearly perfect. Still a lot of beans to plant here. A few brave souls were trying to spray today. I still have water standing in a few spots and probably 15 to 20% damage in my fields, everything from dead/no corn to 6 foot tall. I don't have beans planted yet.

Reading Clays post got me thinking, I haven't seen any hay cut yet. At least any that dried enough to bale. I saw a patch of alfalfa yesterday that was 100% blossoms and probably too wet to cut. A guy was spraying in the field next to it but having a lot of trouble. I think it was so wet the corn was getting knocked over cause it was taller than the sprayer or the sprayer was sinking in the wet sand.

I was thinking the same thing about the hay - very little hay has been cut around here.  Also, I was noticing there just is not much wheat around anymore at all.  There was never a lot planted, but it seems like this year there just arent hardly any fields.  Maybe the ones that I see are 10 - 20 acres here and there but that is about it.  I guess 200 bpa corn at $3.25 and 50 bpa beans at $9.50 eliminate the desire to plant much wheat.

I guess thats why they say "the cure for low prices is low prices"
