Shelled the 65 acres in front of the house - - - 2 years ago ( was in soybeans last year) it averaged 211 bu per acre at 17.3% and took 15 semi loads to haul off.

This year it only took one and only had 900 bu for a little under 14 bu per acre at 18%

The monitor was reading 5 to 7 bu most of the time but just east ( down hill ) of the grassy waterways it went up to 200 bu per acre for short sections or the field would have been much worse. What is really making me mad is while we got no rain from the 2nd of May till the 2nd of Sept we have had over 12" so far this month!  We got 3.5" in 2 hours with almost no run off and the creeks are still dry with a foot this month so I guess we still need a bunch more!

I am going to run the cows on it unless it gets muddy and hope to stretch my hay supply!
