Sad Southern Corn Harvest

[Mike]

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. :roll:

 

[IL Rancher]

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...

 

[kolanuraven]

It's pitiful all around. Looks about the same here!

I did make it rain a bit, about 1/2 inch or so...I sprayed the cows for flies, do it every time!!

Gonna do it again tomorrow and the next!!!!!!!!. Sure hope the cow hair don't fall out from all the spray!! :shock: :shock: :shock:

 

[Mike]

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?

Oh sweet that sounds good! tehy should be able to because we cant grow them up here, my aunt sends up oranges from fl, all the time! If youd liek you can send some peaches to! The best peach i ever had was a big ol' Alamaba Peach, the ones that the juice runs down your chin! :lol:

 

[Maple Leaf Angus]

That is just sad and discouraging. Would there be no chance of chopping it for cow feed?

Are we talking about the same thing here? :lol:

I asked him about baling his corn crop (or non-crop) last year and he told me it is worth more to him as ground cover than it would be to me for feed.

 

[IL Rancher]

Never had a bama peach or a Georgia unless it was one of those in the store that were picked befe ripe nd than shiped.. WE can ge some great peaches over in Michigan in August I think.. We usually go up there on vacation and get to pick some.. tasty and very, very juicy...

MLA, I was thinking the same thinga bout chopping for cow feed.. Some farmers do that around here with real bad corn crops, they call teh local farmer feeders and see if they want to buy the corn in the field.. Sometimes it is worth it and other times it is not....

The peaches here are the size of golf balls this year.

I too, like to have juice running down my chin! :lol:
