Brad, that really hurts, sorry to hear that. Hopefully it won't be as bad as it sounds like. On the positive side, beautiful piece of property you got.

I wanted the lake to fill up here it's been so low the fish winter killed, now the lake is so high they evacuated the other side of the lake and the roads are covered with water on 2 sided of me what a mess. Most water I have seen in 40 years of living here the lawn sounds like a sponge when you walk on it like you said enough is enough.
Not sure they will get the crops out and the rest of the hay cut any equipment in a field is at risk of getting buried there. They were working on the wheat harvest and had a tracked tractor with a huge tow rope standing by that was last week.

Thanks for the thoughts Wild and Zim.
The Humidity has been unbearable this summer. We are used to 15-20%. Saturday we set a record at 1:00pm with 76%. I don’t know how the guys down south do it. I can take 95*-115*, but the humidity is a killer

I wish I had a picture of the first year I farmed I had 75 percent greensnap on 147 acres out of 320 but no hail and at that time I didnt carry green snap insurance at that time, I now do. We started carrying it 5 years ago. First year I put it on the corn it payed out over 200k good Lord was with me on that decision. Got audited for excessive loss. That was a great experience!!

Good luck, I hope it doesnt ruin your corn.
Look at it this way, at least you got a wheat crop, we got none, and our milo is burning up from lack of rain.
Farming sucks, im tired of it.

I’ll keep venting. So we drowned in the spring and then No rain. Dry land corn is toasted. Started chopping it last week. Appraisal was 10 bushel to the acre.

Sounds like a good idea. I got audited last year for excessive yields. I didn’t mind that one:)

Farming sucks, im tired of it. Thanks bacatrapper. You guys have had a terrible year. Makes me feel bad for complaining. Won’t be long before we can put it behind us, and lower the hammer on some yotes. I’m seeing lots of pups out here. Rabbit and field rat numbers are crazy, so I should have a good haul. My wife is already tiered of hearing about it. She just rolls her eyes every time I say something about it. Which is 10 times a day:) probably should put a lid on it! How do things look out there?

Lots of coyotes here too, but im thinking they might not be worth as much as last year, so gonna hit the skunks and bobcats this year hard too..........dont feel bad about complaining its the farmer way. Yea we have had a badbad year, good thing we dont borrow money to farm, and we have cows or wed be toast.

Good luck! I hope to see you guys at the Colorado sale. I almost have the beaver grease off my fingers from flipping 300 of those wood chippers 4 times. Great time and I learned a lot.
