Been driving through southern MN and northern IA prime farm land these last weeks and have seen some interesting things. The first is most of the corn and soybeans have a strip in the end rows that is much shorter than the rest of the field. I'm sure it's from the compaction from turning on the ends of the fields as it's a few rows in from the edge right where the combines and tractors would turn. It's really noticable this year. I'm sure there is usually a little difference, but in that area most years everything is so even and nice you wouldn't notice. This year it's plain to see and in all crops and it's wide spread. I would expect to see a lot of farmers out there with deep tillage tools trying to fix that this fall. Also saw a lot of yellow looking corn. Every minor flaw in the field is easily seen this year. Both hills and low spots are poor. I'm wondering if it's dry enough now for them to be hurting or is it clay on top of the hills that was too wet?
Anyway, those are my observations. Poor years really mark the poor spots in the fields. Other than that I was impressed with how good things looked, not as good as usual, but not terrible either.

He had over a period of months spent a fair amount of his hard earned cash on replacement parts for the old "trembler" ignition. Sadly though all his efforts seemed to be a waste of time and money as he still couldn''t get the temperamental old thing to run correctly!! If i said that this was a little frustrating for him that would be "conservative" in fact the problem had reduce
