Not going to be much there, too dry too long, too hot . Not the worst beans I've ever had here in NW Illinois, but close. I started a square 30 acre field. 6600 combine with a 213 head. I cut 4 passes on each end and made almost 1 round on the south side and the bottom section of the hopper isn't full yet. Standing on the ground looking up, you can just see the beans in the hopper. Small seeds, some green plants yet so there are some green beans and pods in the tank, tseted 10.3 on my old tester. I have the concave pulled down to 1, cylinder at 550 and still can't get some out of the pods, they are just too small. Going to have to cut around some spots where they are just too green yet. Not sure whether to bin them or just take them to town and delay payment until after Jan 1. My options are: take tractor and 2 wagons across the bridge and thru Muscatine, Ia to the south end where the elevator is( rough streets and idiot drivers). Take tractor and 2 wagons 15 miles to country elevator on county blacktops or put them in the bin and run air on them. I would rather bin them, but I doubt there will be a semi load to vac out. Seems like a lot of trouble for the trucker, but a lot easier on me. I think I'll call the trucker tomorrow and ask him if he will come for what I get off the field and go from there. Looks like crop inurance will pay this year. Chris
