Chopping season is just getting started a full month earlier that normal. Most of the corn didn't even make an ear and people are trying to harvest what is there for a stalk to have some tonnage. Many fields of corn are belt to shoulder high and turning browner each day.
We aren't in the corn belt but the acorn belt. It's amazing how many people here locally planted corn for grain and even though it isn't making grain, they won't sell for those of use wanting to chop. I guess that is Farmers Optimism.
All that said it just looks harder and harder for guys feeding cattle this winter.
