It’s been overcast all week and showers every couple days. We’re trying to get our wheat harvested. The crop conditions haven’t been suitable yet, but the next week’s forecast brings hope!
It has been rainy and overcast most of the last week. Some of the early-planted corn is starting to tassel as well as the early-planted beans are flowering!
We got another 2 inches this last week. The corn is looking great, and the soybeans have been looking better and better with this heat we’ve had this last week!
The last week we have received anywhere from 2 to 5 inches of rain. There has been some flooding in the bottom ground, and the hill ground has its wet spots with water standing as well. Our corn ground is super clean, and it’s canopied. The soybeans have quite a bit of weed pressure coming i…
We’ve received another 2 inches of rain this week, followed by some sunshine and heat. This was a really great growing week in northwest Missouri. Our corn is mostly around the V6 growth stage. Soybeans are starting to grow outwards more and bush out. Everything is looking better.
Both the corn and soybeans have emerged and are off to a pretty good start so far. We received over 3 inches of rain this week, which has kept things wet across the area. The crop could definitely use some warmer temperatures and sunshine this coming week to help spur growth and let fields d…
Most of the corn is now in the V4-V5 growth stage and is looking healthy overall, with the recent warm temperatures really helping crop progress. The early-planted soybeans look great. We had a few areas that had to be replanted due to frost or water damage, but everything is in the ground a…
We received another round of light rain this week. The corn pretty much all emerged and is looking healthy overall and progressing well with the warmer temperatures. The later-planted soybeans are starting to come up, and some earlier-planted beans that took a hit from last week’s frost and …
Weather challenges returned this last week. A hard, fast-moving storm Sunday brought around 2-3 inches of rain in a short period, leading to some big washouts and saturated soils. In addition, a frost on Thursday caused damaged in some soybean fields, with certain areas needing to be evaluat…
We were able to finish planting both corn and soybeans this week just ahead of another round of rain that brought about 0.5 inches. Field conditions have continued to be challenging for farmers in the area with frequent rains slowing progress, but we were thankful to get everything wrapped u…
Over the past two weeks, planting progress has been slowed by frequent rainfall, with systems moving through every three to four days. Last Friday, our area was under a tornado warning, bringing marble-sized hail along with nearly an inch of rain. Conditions have finally allowed us to return…

This year had its share of swings. We started with a favorable spring planting window that allowed us to get in early and clean. Early-season moisture was timely, though we did battle some heat and dry stretches in late summer. The crop held on better than most were expecting thanks to early…
Weather has turned cooler, and conditions have mostly dried out this week. Harvest is wrapped up here, and we were very pleased with all the yields! Field work is in good shape with guys starting some fall tillage and fertility programs underway. We are prepping for fall spraying. Cover crop…
Harvest is finished. Cover crops have been planted on all the corn stalk ground. I am getting our sprayer prepped to start doing some fall spraying. We also have a little bit of custom harvesting we will be doing this coming week to help some neighbors finish up!
We are wrapping up our harvest this week. Thursday (Oct. 16) we got 0.7 inches of rain, but it only put us out till the afternoon. With how dry the ground has been, it soaked it right up. All of the crops yielded very good. We will start helping a few neighbors finish getting their crops out…
Harvest is going very efficiently! Corn yields have been really good — 12-13% moisture. We have wrapped up with soybeans. We have some double-crop beans that are not quite ready. The wheat we planted and fertilized last week got 0.7 inches of rain, and it’s already out of the ground and look…
We are wrapping up soybeans currently. They are yielding very good and coming in around 10-11% moisture. We will be switching back over to corn mid-week. The ground is super dry. Anticipating some rain in the forecast. We also wrapped up planting winter wheat for harvest the last few days!
Harvest is going very smooth so far! Corn yields have been very good. The corn is still holding onto quite a bit of moisture. We switched over to beans the last three days, and they’ve been in the 11-12% moisture range, and we have been very pleased with the yields so far.
Harvest is going smoothly. We have a few small chances of rain forecasted, but the corn is dried down, and the beans are almost ready as well.
The corn harvest is going smoothly. A lot of the fields are still running around 17-19% moisture. The soybeans have really turned quick this last week. We’re projecting to switch over and start cutting beans by the end of the week!
We’ve had no rain and no chances of rain this last week. We started picking corn. The yields are comparable to last year so far, and the corn is running 19-22%. Everything has been looking good so far, and the 10-day forecast should help dry the corn down even more.
