Got going yesterday. About a week early compared to most years. Yields are way off due to lack of moisture and high winds since January. My boys are on this crew and my little brother is running his machine with his girls. Hope everyone has a safe one.

Wow!! That seems so early....our guys are just starting in-crop spraying. Harvest is about 2 1/2 months away. Just got almost 2 inches of rain yesterday and calling for more tonight. That'll help.

One of the bigger spreads just out of town was bringing in their wheat today. I didn't ever stop and wander out to look close... But it looked like a good crop.
The corn looks like it's doing good too... Really taking off.

Wheat in this area has a long ways to go yet.
I got myself a seniors' GPS. Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination, it tells me why I wanted to go there.

Farmers who have their own wells for irrigation around here just baled the first cutting of alfalfa. Those who don’t have wells….. I doubt they get any hay this year. The river is dry as can be. Tough to be a farmer here this year.

Just checked, the reservoir where the farmers get water from downstream from us is at 6% capacity.

The wheat around here has been picked mostly. It's extremely dry, been baling 1st cutting hay lately, there's no moisture to grow it back currently. Do you guys double crop those acres with beans after harvest? Hope u have good weather with no breakdowns

Pawnee - how many acres do you have to combine? Have a safe harvest. 2,500 or so. We lost 400 to drought that we won’t be cutting. Funny how when prices are high we get hammered with hail and drought, I we were cutting 70 bushel wheat it would be worth $3

If the forecast shows rain I’m going to try drilling some feed into a few acres of wheat stubble for winter feed for the cows

Well Brad, my family enjoys beef and flour so God bless you and yours for helping supply our food chain. Man cannot live on tomatoes alone. Or can he? hummmmm.
Blessings! Mark
