This is what's happening to the corn here. 3-4 feet tall, twisted, fully tassled and no ears whatsoever.........................................

This guy makes good corn every year. 175-200 bushels, picks it at the end of July.

All of the cotton is about 8 inches tall and blooming. Rolling Eyes

Whats he doing.. Just shreading it into the ground? I don't think we ever had widespread no eared corn around here... Looking at the records from 88 the farm reported somehting in the 40's for bushels per acre which is brutal around here...

Il Rancher - Yep he's cutting it up in itty bitty pieces...........................

He had already sprayed for borers 3 times.

He lost his whole corn & cotton crop last year to drought. Only a little was insured.

There are absolutely NO peanuts in the ground this year. Too dry in Ga. Al. & Ms.

Too wet in Texas.

Food will be expensive next year.

He going to plant something in the ground that he is shredding or just fallow it wiht somehting to keepe the ground covered? Of course, with no rain it doesn't matter.. It is so hard sometimes of thinking an area like the Southeast can go into such a long drought but we know it can.. Hopeffully you guys will get a bunch of tropical depressions/storms that will help recharge the ground water..


Katy, you will have to swtich to cashews or almonds or pistaccios but I don't know if I like Almond butter all that much..

Katy, I planted about a 1/2 acre in front of my house that I can irrigate.

If the deer don't eat them up, I'll send you some green peanuts to boil.

That word "IF" is a big one though.

They not only need to be raw, they need to GREEN for good boiled ones..

See above.

Don't know if they can go across the border or not?
