| We harvested across the scale adjusted for moisture, test wt, etc... a dryland field that averages in the 80's... pay yield was 186. Different part of the farm only did 60's right on average... Irrigated is still in the bins.. but probably one of our best crops.
USDA says Ks did almost 600 mln bushels vs 480 last year... Some dryland growers to my east harvested 200 bpa dryland corn fields... Not everyone did that... but it was "a big crop."
Talking to the grain elevator supervisor for a large Central Ks Coop elevator last night.. They are crammed full.. with several Million bushels still outside right now... They exceeded their previous record by a couple mln bushels if memory serves me correctly.
Read in the paper a similar story for the Milo crop out west... Again.. we will chew through this over time. In Kansas.. this only means that we can support our own demand base without as much help this year.. There is not as much wheat acreage and who knows what size that crop will be.. so Mother Nature usually works things out over time.
Make hay while the sun shines... As big as this crop was.. there's a future crop that will come up short.. if history is any indication. Meanwhile the Cattle must be feed everyday. | |
