Yields this year are really variable. The summer rains where real spotty around here. Some would get an inch and others would get 2 tenths. Then you add in the wilt and blight pressure makes for a widely different picture field to field this year.
So we have fields that are making 225 and others that are in the 160-170 range. One of the lower yields was on our best ground with a hybrid that has been the top yielder for us the last 3 years. The problem??? It is a fast growing earlier maturity corn. Right when it was filling the final part of the ear we had three weeks of low rain fall. So by the time we got the later rains that variety was already done.
So you do the best you can and pray/hope for the "right" weather to make a bin buster crop. Until they can tell us the weather 12 months out we just do the best we can.
So the early maturing hybrids and the ones with lower tolerance for blight/wilt suffered this year. Next year will be a different game.

I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
