I just finished harvest today. I had 750 acres of beans, 200 of which were double crop. Some of the double crop were taken by weeds, but the regular beans went in about the time the double crop did. I cut the last of the double crop today and I felt like I was mowing pasture. It was a nice little surprise bonus for the landlord, though. We had a muddy June and I was just in the swing of planting at the June 26 cutoff. Much of what I planted was a 3.9. I planted half Liberty (on resistant ground) and half roundup/STS.
The roundup beans skunked the Liberty I. Areas where there wouldn't have been weed pressure anyway. The Liberty gave a great crop on ground that has been nothing but cab-high ragweed and Palmer for years. I did notice that were were lots of pods on the Liberty, but the roundup had stooled out where the others didn't.
If it wasn't such a pain I would mix and match again because I got good results. I used liquid fertilizer but saw no increase. I had put down granular the fall before not knowing I was adding liquid to that planter. I don't now what to think about that. It was $10K down the drain for the planter add-ons and a bit of liquid. Liquid is so darn expensive. I am still not sure what that looks like for next year. I hate to not use it at all. Maybe it will be for experimental use. Don't know.
There's a cold south wind and a 95% chance of rain overnight and into the next three days. El Niņo is here. I feel bad for those who still have a crop in. Except that BTO that's shafting everyone out of their rented ground. He can sit in that mess and cry.

Today's Featured Article - Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
