Standing corn. What's it worth per acre?

Make sure you offer to cut it down after the season. I'm sure he wont want to go in and remove it all before he plants again in the spring.

 

You'll just be paying the gross income, not the net...

 

its funny 2012 was our best year ever, never seen one better in three generation. corn averaged over 200 bushels, our best field went 252 bushels per acre. corn usually avg. 130 bpa beans all went 60 plus. beans are usually 35-40 bpa. my father in law passed that summer and I drove a crossed the country to Nevada to his funeral and looked at the devastation of the drought in the entire mid west, I saw corn in Iowa dried down and brown the last week of July. It was crazy!

 

Really? Wow! Where are you at?
I didn't think anyone had even a decent crop that year let alone a bumper crop. Glad it worked out for someone. My little patch of corn in 2012 averaged 40 bpa and had a failed crop last year from floods in June and a hail storm (microburst). The 40 bushel corn was better than the surrounding averages too..pathetic.

I got mine in late this year, 5th of May and it totally got nailed with a really hot and dry streak at fill. It was on track to be 180 bushel corn but I think I'll be doing good for it to average 150 now. Probably means it'll run 120

 

I'm going to throw in a hijack question....has anyone ever used or use a small harvester/picker? I'm talking about something to pull behind a tractor.

 

I am in central Michigan, that summer I bet we never went longer than 8-10 days without an inch of rain. from July 20th- august 15th we had 7 inches of rain! never seen anything like it, and the 18.00 soys and 6.00 corn at the market that fall was awesome.

 

I've got an old one row picker that picks ear corn and shucks it and then conveys it onto a wagon pulled along behind. It's a New Idea brand picker. I bought it from a cousin and rebuilt it just for chits and giggles cause I thought it was cool. Don't have any pics and it's setting out behind the shed. I was going to try to adapt it to pick sweet corn at one time but gave up on the idea.

 

Haha, that's awesome. It's nice when everything "clicks".
