We finished up combining corn today so all the crop is out, and now the dozer work begins, anyone else finishing up or how’s it going.

Southern Iowa...? What is "dozer work"...?

Northern Iowa about 70 miles north of Des monies, dozer work is fixing waterways, tree removal, and I’ve got some fences I need to knife the dirt away from.

400 left then 136 of milo. Hopefully tomorrow we can roll again. First thing in the morning I have to deal with this sick bagging man stretched this one a bit to much. Cold weather split it.

Thank you Gary, Pawnee that looks like a mess some guys tried that here a few years back but we don’t have the weather for those bags full of grain usually it’s too wet then it gets to cold and they froze solid or the ones that didn’t the corn looked bad coming out of it, possum63 from here to fort dodge there is still a lot in the field which is odd usually they are done over west before us.

This year in SE Nebr the beans weren't ready yet so the corn got picked first then the beans afterwards. Odd year.

There are tricks to it and we learn something every year. No air is the key and constant coon patrol is a must. I’m going to have to call the warden in the morning because a family group is hitting a bag hard. I’ll be breaking the Duke cage traps out early this year. I’ve got 300k bushel bagged now and praying the coons and hail storms stay away

Coons would wreak havoc on a bag, here the threat of hail is pretty well past but we can still get it.

I saw a lot of roadkilled coon today. I suppose the corn getting cut has them all shook up.

Almost all of the beans are down in my part of Ohio and most of the corn is still standing. Yield is up and prices are dropping some.

Nice job on the harvest. Weather has been great for picking this year.

Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

Corn has been going out decent here still some beans, I heard today that Illinois had pollination problems and the corn isn’t yielding as good as they thought, we had very good yields and we are still in a bad drought but we had just enough rain at the right times that made the difference 10miles either way and it’s not pretty.
