Thought I'd show you a pic of what some of our corn crop looks like in my neighborhood here in Northwest Iowa. This was planted to corn last May but two 3.5 inch rains back to back drowned it out. I'm not alone. I lost about 50 acres in about a dozen little low places out of 640 planted to crops. My neighbor across the fence lost 60 acres in one pond. This particular drowned out area is on the far end of a field that's 1/2 mile long and the only way to get to it to mow the weeds is to drive down two rows of corn with the tractor. Most of the corn sprang back up after I drove through it because it's short from being in wet ground too long. The size of this area shocked me, I've never had this much drown out in this field. The field is 60 acres and this area alone is 15 acres. There are two other smaller areas totaling maybe 5 acres that drowned in this field so that only leaves 40 acres to pay for 60 acres worth of rent and crop inputs at $3.35 for current corn. Most of my neighbors in this area are in the same boat. It just shows not all of the corn belt has a bin busting crop. The light yellow tint on the tractor and mower is pollen from the weeds. If I didn't have that cab to sit in my eyes would probably be half swollen shut tonight. Jim

Today's Featured Article - On the Road with Dave Gohl: Auction Musings - by Dave Gohl. I was thinking the other day about all the auctions I've been to in the last few years. There've been many. Some have been very good, some have been well, disappointing to say the least. But no matter how good or bad auctions may be, we always seem to stay until the item we've come for or are interested in is on the block. I've been to some auctions near and far. I think the furthest has been the Two Cylinder 7 in the Amana Colonies last year. Lots of stuff, lots of people. I've also atten
