 Topic: Crop Damage?
Posted: 24 Jul 2018 at 7:31am |

Locally corn and beans not doing so hot, as is either too hot and or too dry. At my cousins farms is either too wet or WAY too wet no way the yields will be worth a durn either way. Overplant beans here are not hardly up, sporadic at best and may just be plowed under, corn yields are projected below 2/3 of last year.
How is your regions doing?

My crops SUCK. West Michigan and south Michigan had too much rain. East coast of MI, where I am, is in a heck of a drought. My neighbors are hurting, and they had a couple of rains that missed me, I seem to be as bad as anyone! Corn is horrible. Beans have hung on, but stunted, just over knee high at best, we'll see what the yields are. We had rain just in time to give my hayfields a little boost, or I would not have had second cutting and would not (still might not) have enough feed for my cattle. I'm running the flail through the worst of the corn to feed cows on dead pasture.

I have to agree with Charlie. The corn is WAY over my head in most areas. Beans are nice and tall and look good. BUT, we need rain around this area now. It's getting TOO dry.
My apple crop looks really good this year. Hopefully we won't get any BAD storms.

Here (SEKY) it needs to stop raining so I can cut hay.
No rain in the last 20 hours, but with 95% humidity at 4:00 PM the grass was still very wet.
Corn is 8'+ tall and setting on two ears. May get 300+ bu/ac this year.

Here the crops are at all stages with corn tassled and late planted hurrying to make up ,same with beans. Wheat was terrible with low yeilds in some areas and vomitoxin in others. Everywhere in Southern Michigan was hurt by the heavy rain early in the spring. We were dry for most of July and got rain in my area over the weekend of 1.25" with some areas getting 2/10". Going to be an interesting fall harvest!

Neighbor across the road has a real good looking stand of beans, almost waste high. But when you get between 30-40 darn deer chowing down on them every day he isn't gonna have a whole lot left. I got another big old brown envelope full of deer depraviton tags last week. Neighbor is now putting on a hunting camp for the kids, I'm gonna share them with him. My new hay crop never came up, gonna plow her under last week of Aug and try again this fall.

Some corn around me was really showing heat stress but we had about 2-1/2" of rain and the seven day is all rain. We cut hay at night and baled next day and fields were burned off after. Second cut will be light
