Many corps have been harvested

Geo-TH,In · Oct 4, 2023

Yesterday I saw two farmers running a disk over their fields. Making a cloud of dust. Things are very dry.

I wonder how many farmers are going to plant wheat this fall?

Soybean harvested started day before yesterday and most of the early beans are fin fished, 2 and 3 semi/s setting in a field for loading. Actually a few early ones were starting last week but then some damp weather stopped it for a while. Later beans in prosses of turning color. Lot of ground worked ready to plant. Think some of it was not able to be planted this spring due to a lot of wet weather. Corn looks to be just starting to get to silage harvesting level, no shelling yet. Allen, Hardin and Hancock countys in Ohio.

I tried a load of beans yesterday, not sure they are under 13%. Started spitting drizzle on me for the last hopper, rained over night.

Some have a fair amount of beans and corn out, some havent started.

Too far north for any sort of double crop here, we are fortunate to squeeze a single crop in between snow melt and early frost some years. Hard to even try cover crops unless you do silage or canning crops.

Why would a farmer work a field after beans, before planting wheat in that field? Everyone plants wheat no till these days dont they? Save fuel, time and moisture.

Leroy · Oct 4, 2023

Probably 50% is still planted non no till. Smaller farmers that will not lay out the money to go to no till or other reasons.

Probably 80% of all corn out around here and lots of the early beans, will be two weeks or so on the beans planted after wheat but sop far been a beautiful fall. Lots of talk of 250+ bushel corn crops.

Bruce from Can. · Oct 4, 2023

Hmmm, 50% of acres, or 50% of farmers? I can hire my wheat no-till custom planted cheaper than I can work the ground and plant the wheat myself. The cost of fuel has really made me reconsider how much work I do myself versus hiring it done.

I have 37 acres of wheat going in today as I finished that field of soybeans yesterday. I hire a contractor to no till it for me as I get very good results and do not waste fuel tilling the ground.

Leroy · Oct 5, 2023

50 % of each and you could not find any one to custom plant at any price. I would guess now the average field is 30 acres in size, lots of smaller fields. Some bigger.

Weather report says harvesting is going to stop again for several days as of this afternoon.
