Pardon my ignorance, what is green snap? Lol I would be Haappy if our record humidity Was 76% good luck in the storm I hope it dissipated for You. It is when storms break corn stalks... the green stalks SNAP

It occurs when corn is growing faster than normal due to environmental conditions. Also when chemicals like Dicamba are used that make the corn brittle. Regions like Kansas are most prone because of our high winds. Newer varieties seem to be affected more than older ones. 10 years ago we didn’t even think about it

Looks like good silage except for not having many bushels in it. NE wildlife green snap is when the corn plant breaks at the node, if it breaks in between it falls under wind damage which we do carry, insurance will probably break me but I know I would be broke if I didn’t carry it. Thanks for the explanation, sorry to hear about the rough growing season.

How did you come out Pawnee? Kinda rough Bob. Silage corn was tall and really got hammered. Grain corn probably lost 10 bushel. I’ll be cross eyed trying to find rows on the chopper

My goodness, that storm approaching shot is tremendous, Pawnee ! Trying to imagine it in living colour, actually standing there ...you all work so hard, and endure so much .
You deserve all the best in your success through these turbulent times. Thanks Sharon. Us farmers love to complain:) if I was a banker I’d be complaining about low interest rates. Lol

Pawnee, how are the nitrogen levels in that low yielding drought stressed corn? When we have had issues such as that here our N levels many times were high and we had to blend the crop in with better forage or feed more grain and energy to utilized more of the N. We had a wet spring, very wet and cool along the lake, much of our silage corn was planted mid to late June instead of early May. We then got about 3 weeks of dry weather, but have had about 5 inches of timely rains over the last 2-3 weeks and we will make a so-so crop of nearly normal silage. Don't know yields as of yet as there is a long way to go and will need a normal August and a tad warmer September to get the grain portion to mature enough. That means we need some timely rains for another month, but for us this time of year is typically good about getting rain. Our alfalfa yields are far below the norm. Some of the cover crop plantings won't be harvest ready until October for sure.
Bryce N levels will be elevated, but once it insiles they are usually cut in half, and we mix it in with old crop silage. It won’t have the energy levels of good corn, but the protein will be equal to alfalfa since it was so stressed. I’ve heard you guys have a long way to go. I hope we don’t have a early freeze. I’m Long on corn as far as the markets go

On the bright side, farming makes trapping during downward spiraling prices seem like a worthwhile endeavor. Preach on brother

Wow Brad, that's terrible. Part of the business I guess, farming in the Heartland. Trade-offs, I suppose. The prairie is the most beautiful place in America in my opinion, so I guess the trade off for that is the storms and weather.
