Just twice around the small field outside the barn. Pretty poor yield. Woods on one side of the field. Buildings and orchard on the other side. Deer really like this field. I think it will be hay next year. :)
Ran a sample up to the elevator. Price is terrible, $2.96 today. I watched the ears in the corn head and listened to it unload into the truck. Ran my hands thru it and told my wife I thought it was 18-20%, closer to 20%. Tested at 19.5%. Not a bad guess! They are charging 4 cents per point above 15% so I may just go ahead and run it next week. I would like to take advantage of the nice weather before it changes. It could dry another 2-3% in the next couple weeks with the right weather so I won't rush too much. Not making any money this year but I look out on those fields and see enough to cover the input expenses and repairs...maybe a little more. Sooner I take it off the better. Deer and turkeys are bad this year and those fool blackbirds are swarming all over the place again this year. Nice to run the combine again. Amazing machines if you really think about it.
I had a great day but that fella at the elevator was having a terrible one. He is full. No beans and no corn accepted. No one will tell him when they are coming to take some away. THREE tandem trailer semis full of grain sitting in line and the drivers did not care that my wife was standing there with my sample waiting for a test. They was cursing this poor guy up one side and down the other until he finally just walked off and left them there with no place to put their loads. Don't know what finally happened. That may stall me off some on harvesting!
