It’s been a busy week. About done — got a little bit of corn left. Bins are full. Everybody is getting close (to done with harvest). Wheat is up and looking good. Could use a little rain — it’s pretty dry.

It’s been another busy week. No rain and warm temps. First-crop beans are done. Got some wheat beans to harvest. Moved back to corn on Friday. It’s dry, 14%. Wheat looks good that is up. The price of fuel is a big deal. By the end of this week there shouldn’t be much left to harvest around here.
It was a good, hot week of harvest again until Wednesday when we got some rain and cooler weather — about 1 inch of rain. The first wheat is up and growing. Should get first-crop beans done this week.
Been busy in the area — lot of crops coming out. Bean yields have been good for us. April beans have been better than May. Early beans win again. No rain for the week — sure could use some for the ground and my body.
It’s been a busy week harvesting. Had a nice rain on Thursday, about 1 inch. Yields are good. The early April beans are really good. May beans feel off a little but still good. There will be some wheat planted this week and no rain for the week.
Corn harvest is going well in the area. Yields have been good to great. Beans that have been harvested have been good. We started today, Sunday (Sept. 27). Sounds like we should get some rain midweek. Didn’t get any this week or weekend. Sure could use some, but don’t need what Iowa’s been getting.
It’s finally going to cool off. Got started on harvest — yields are good. Corn moisture 17 to 21. Some beans were cut, and neighbors said the yield was good. We should have some ready this week. Didn’t get any rain like they said. Sure could use some more. Made a circle on some beans with a …
Harvest has started in my area. Moisture is 18 to 22. We had a nice rain last week, 1 inch to 2 inches in the area, and it cooled off. Beans really needed it. There could be some beans ready next week.
It's been a hot one this week — sure could use a rain. It's taking the top off the beans. We’ve been irrigating the fields we can. Working on the combine and grain bins in the mornings. Right now our biggest problem is the price of fuel, it's time to get this war over with. Some corn has bee…
It's going to be hot and dry this week. Sure could use a rain. Got pivots running on beans. Corn is starting to turn.
It was a nice week because it cooled off. Just a little bit of rain. Crops looking good. There will be some guys chopping corn. We’re 3 weeks from harvest. Maybe it will be ready before I’m ready.
It’s been a hot week. Got a little rain later in the week, Friday, Saturday and Sunday morning — about a half inch total. It was nice. Crops are looking good. Got a little bit of wheat beans that need respraying. Grass is green. Starting to clean out bins for the new stuff.

Sounds like we got a lot of rain at home — about 3 inches on Wednesday. We were gone — went to the lake for the week. It rained here, too. It’s always good to have rain in August. Will probably put some more fungicide on the later beans this week and put some more foliar on some early beans.…
We had a good rain Friday — about 2 inches. It should have finished the early corn and taken the beans aways. Crops look pretty good in my area. Still got some fungicide to put on some later beans and get bins cleaned out while the temperature is not so hot and the humidity is lower.
It was a dry week around here. Got some hay baled. Beans fungicide is going on. Got one pivot running on corn. Crops look pretty good. With the hot weather this coming week we are going to need some rain.
It was a hot week. Corn looks good. Early beans look good, and later beans are looking better. They needed this hot weather. Got the first beans fungicided and most corn is done — still got two fields. Probably will start a pivot on corn this week. We could use some rain. It rained just sout…
It was a busy week. Got a lot of bean spraying done, some corn fungicide on, more this week. Friday evening (July 10) we had almost 3 inches of rain and a lot of wind and tree limbs down. We’ve got a couple of fields of beans ready to fungicide this week.
It was a hot one around here last week. The corn and beans needed it. Got a lot of bean spraying done — they needed it bad. Going to start on corn fungicide this week. Had a popup shower Sunday evening and got an inch and a half at my house. A farm just south of me got nothing. A lot of hay …
We had more rain Thursday night. There is still some wheat to harvest in area. The early crops look really good — should have corn tasseling by the 4th. Early beans are flowering, but we need to be spraying this week. The heat is going to be good for the crops. Have a good 4th — might have s…
More rain this week. We had about 2 inches Sunday morning. It’s been hard to get wheat cut. Some crops are waterlogged, some stuff has been replanted and needs it again, and this week's weather doesn't look any better.
Another week of rain. We did get lucky and not really get any Saturday, got we have some replant to do this week and beans need spraying. Hopefully we’ll get some wheat cut. The early corn and beans look pretty good.
Well, we had a lot of rain Sunday — about 3 inches. Most all the crops are planted — some of it twice, right before the 3 inch rain. Calling for more this week. Might be some wheat harvested later in the week if weather permits.
We had a wet weekend with about 2.5 inches from Friday till Monday morning. Most of the crop is planted in the area. Some replant and maybe more after this weekend’s rain. I got most all corn sprayed last week. Some of the early beans are ready to be sprayed. Wheat will be ready before we are.
Nothing going on this week. We had about 3 inches of rain Monday. It’s still wet and still got some beans to plant — hopefully no replant. Next week doesn’t look any better.
