Ahh, we never see any spring planted here so the prospect of an august wheat harvest sounded weird. Good luck with harvest, hope you're able to get some hunting in.
Haha yeah I bet that did then and thanks! Won't be as much as I would like but anytime out is a plus! We have a trial at work where we planted 105 day corn in beginning of June. It just started blistering this week! Obviously that isn't real world to 95% of farmers but definitely interesting to see when or if it will be able to be combined.
Pretty much what everyone else is saying... Central MN is seeing silage, wheat fields being done, and beans just starting to turn brown.
Normally we cut all the corn for silage but the local feedyard filled up on wheatlige so all the corn will have to go to grain which means it won't be harvested as soon. Probably a month out at least. Lots of Milo also this year
Several farms here have started shelling corn but the ones I hunt still have awhile before moisture level gets low enough.
I was heading north on I-55 in Madison county, IL and saw 2 fields of corn being cut. man were the doves flying. Where I hunt there is sitting water in the field from all the rain we've gotten lately. I'm guessing those beans will go in November, as they were plenty green still.
The corn on our farm is ready, but it's still to wet. Beans on the other hand have to be the greenest around still.
Yea there's a lot of people cutting corn already, most of the beans are little ways off. Farm I hunt will probably start on corn next week or two. Which will make season opener interesting. Beans should be interesting to, alot of then look pretty bad, all the rain we've gotten lately has knocked alot of it down. And there's some actually dying or what looks to be dying off. Most of the fields are pretty green with spots of brown that are dried down. Walked through some other day and on some of the green areas beans are still forming.

They're cutting corn like crazy here in southeast Kansas. Our local COOP has already reported a record harvest of 1 million bushels so far. Beans are starting to brown and should be getting cut by mid October. I'm thinking this will be a cheap year to fatten some cattle and keep the corn piles full.
Complete stand still with all of the rain. I am guessing 10% out in my area. They are starting to hide all of the rope in my county.
My corn is all out, my beans are in various stages as per plant dates and being indeterminate without a frost yet and my sorghum is mostly darn close to being a go when it dries up. I just bought a new (to me) combine yesterday. I traded in my old 1660 for a much later model 2388 and larger platform...hope the yields are good and the combine is easy to operate because I'm now in debt and short an arm and a leg,
Yep, My dad works for a local grain COOP and he says its about to get crazy now that we have had so many wet days its putting guys was behind so you will start to see a lot of combines lighting up the night sky in this area.
Maybe, around here the main portion of harvest takes about 8 weeks. If you add in the high yields and wet conditions I would say at least the bulk of harvest will last 10 weeks.
