I’m over by New Ulm. We got a brief weather window to get the beans in, and could slog out most of the corn. There are still a few corn fields left out there.
The ground can be pretty muddy, could need to dry some.
More likely the beans themselves are too wet. If you missed that brief weather window here for beans, they got rained on and it got cool and no sun and the beans went right back up to 18-20% moisture, which is way way too wet. Beans need to be down to 13%.
It’s possible the beans were too wet, he worked on corn, and concentrated on corn getting that done, and hopes to now come back for the beans. This year the weather did not cooperate from April through today, it was just horribly miserable year. It hasn’t played nice with us at all any step of the way.
Now might as well wait for the harder freeze and get what you can on the beans. They will still be too wet, but the forecast doesn’t lend to them ever drying in the field this year.
It’s certainly possible to get behind the 8 ball financially, but at combing time, you will find a way to get the beans combined, it would be a waste of dollars to ‘let them rot’, even if you are way way behind on your loans, the banker would lend you enough for fuel to get the crop in and take the $$$ crop.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
