gary have you guys got much volunteer corn and beans growin by you??? my corn came out early september, looks like quite a bit must have shelled on the combine head. fields are green again, corn is about 5-6 inches high. good thing it aint roundup corn. went over to the other farm today to bush hog (hope its the last before the snow flies) dang, the beans were combined about last of september, that field was green too!! soybeans sprouted and are 3-4 inches tall. either the pods shattered at the reel, or maybe they were flying out the back!!!! (north central illinois)

Yep. Every field that's out up here looks like the sieves were way too far open on the combines. Everything's green like grass.

Makes ya wonder if it's enough to get the farmers yellin' at the manufacturers about bad design or something.

There are several fields in my area that have done that also. They say it takes 2 seeds per a square foot on the ground to make a loss of one bushel per acre you are going to lose a little out the back either that or get a sample full of trash But I got a nieghbor gripes about loss and never gets out to monitor the combine or do any setting just set it by the book and run.

Here in southern Mn. volunteer corn will be knee high by Christmas, volunteer spring wheat will be turning at Halloween, and volunteer beans will be fit by Feb. afraid the frost will get the beans. I have never seen these conditions in my 40 yrs. of farming of growing crops in the fall.....weird. But then again, we will need good weather for the next 6 weeks to get the crops out due to the wet fields!!!

Back when I grew wheat, I had a field that headed out a second time. Was almost tempted to swath it, but figured no protien at all.... It was December, was one of 'those years' and little fall moisture.

I ended up fencing it, let the cows eat it.

Oats is heading right now for me, too muddy to get the cows out there, but this week I hope.

Yep we got it.

You didn"t do anything different and neither did we. You and I have that type of field loss every year. It just doesn"t grow like it did this year.

Its mother nature. Warm and moist just like spring so every thing grew.

Come spring we will not have to deal with the volunteer corn in the beans cause it all will have sprouted and died from the winter cold.

You are going to have natural shatter sometimes before the combine even reaches the field. Then you have some loss at the head or cutter bar, and some will come out the back. You add it all up and field loss is something you just have to live with. Even a little shatter will green up a field. It looks like a lot but in most cases the loss is minimal and just part of the game.

It makes me feel better about my wore out old MF 750. It leaks and shells and shatters right along with the new ones, but it's paid for itself twice now. Chris

And nobody has any fences anymore around the feilds to keep the spring hogs and cattle in that would clean up the fields of volunteer crops. RN

central ILL it looks like most fields were drilled with corn ,but the red combines must do a better job then the green reseeders bacause the green combine harvested fields look the worst .

I know what you mean Leland, just to be a smarta**, i asked my neighbor, if he planned on trying to doublecrop his corn this year. I"m not complaining about the weather, we"ve been having. matter of fact, i"m going to go cut some hay today, if i dont get blown away

I've never seen that before this year here in southern Minnesota. Real odd. Some fields came out real early, we got dumped on with rain since then & had a heat wave.

Looks odd!

Only takes 20,000 seeds to green up an acre, not too much loss really. Just odd looking for these parts.

Lots of wheat fields green also. Could operators be relying on electronic stuff too much for info? Might have to get out an get dirty by checkin on ground on hands an knees for loss to see if speed an machine is corectly set.

Ihave volinteer corn that was 6 to 10 inches tall before the stalk cutter went over the field. Corn was harvested in early Sept. I saw that some fields were solid with new growth. My field is in northern Ford co. in Ill. Armand

i'm in the north east corner of livingston county. beans were funny this year, has good yield, went 64 acre came out at 12-13% moisture. seems like the sudden death was over the field tiles. we sprayed of aphids and had a fungicide applied too. corn did 191, the way the fields look, prolly had 5-10 bushels acre drop from the combine. we had some corn that sprouted on the ears too. had a lot of foggy mornings in august, kept everything wet overnight.

Fields that have been combined already here are all green again from volunteer beans.Looks like spring again.looks like alot either went out the back ends or the seeds flew out of the pods before going into header.

I seen one combine in a small high field in my area in corn.Otherwise,it's looking like the mid week before we can get back at it form all the rain.SE MN ~brad
