How's this year's harvest going for everyone? Beans we saw 59 bu/acre across the board which was phenomenal. 40 of the 60 acres were on gravel... We will be getting corn reports back tomorrow, they just finished ours up yesterday. Little nervous on them... samples ram 23% to 27% and the field monitor ran anywhere from 22% to 30%. Paying close to $.50/bushel to dry with these already low prices will really hurt. I can guess we yielded around 160 an acre.. The only good thing about bad futures is maybe used machinery prices will come down. It may be a rough few years..

Our coal mine reclaim ground yielded 40 bu soybeans, hoping for some better yields from iur good bean fields... silage corn figured 193 bu. All other corn so far has surpassed 193 bu.  We're not complaining! Just wishing for no rain and some sunshine

The last week has been damp and wet here in SE Wisconsin too. Not helping anything dry down. Corn over 200 bushel/acre is awesome! Is your corn irrigated?  What have you seen for moisture?

We are seeing moisture anywhere from 19-26% across the field and corn yields have been outstanding so far! We have one field corn on corn that will finish up at around 210bu/a and another one that is on real tough ground around 195 so we cant really complain. We are now getting into some of our early june planted corn and it is averaging 30% right now not sure on the yields from that farm yet.

Northeast MO. Our beans are around 30, most in the area are in mid 20's.  Corn is in the 120's.  June corn here is around 18% moisture.  Things looked great for the longest time, just couldn't catch a rain.  Bean's are worse than last year but corn is better.  This is the third really dry summer in a row.  All in all I am pleased with how things are turning out for the rain we got!  Glad to here you guys are getting good corn yields even though it's only worth a little over half as much as last year.  Most guys around here are selling beans and storing all the corn they can.  Time will tell if that is a good idea or not?  Feeding out your own cattle is looking up again though!

Moistures have tested 23-32%.  We have no irrigation,  God's been on our sides here in southern IN this year.  We've not had a crop like this corn crop in years.  I just wished the prices hadn't dropped so much.

Crops are very good in West-Central Illinois.
My beans went 68 and corn went 218 gross bu/acre. 
Beans were cut at 13% and had some shatter loss.
Corn was shelled at 16-17% to avoid dock this year.
Everything went in later this year and we had a 3" rain right after planting corn.
Corn really struggled to get through the crust.

Central Nebraska.

Came into the growing season extremely dry....Early spring rains were excellent, but the skies shut off in July and early August. 

Despite all of that, record high yields.

Irrigated soybeans up to 80+ BPA.

Dry soybeans up to 60 BPA.

Irrigated corn really strong...heard whole fields averaging 260 or more.  Many spots yield monitors hitting 290....holy cow!

Our dryland will average over 150 on 5 different farms.  Have never had dryland corn over 130 prior to this year. 

Some of the corn is holding onto the moisture....still 18 to 19 in places...but most of ours was 15-16. 

An unreal production year in central Nebraska.

Glad to here everyone's yields are good! Here in SE Wisconsin 59 bu/acre was the best of any farm that our custom harvesters did of 2000 acres. Corn not so good, we averted 172 across the board. Have a safe and happy home stretch!
