Extreme northern IN here, we are about 1/2 done with our corn (900 total acres) and I am almost 1/3 done with the beans (800 total) and it seems that is the story with most the other local farmers too. Been raining every couple days so we only get 1 maybe two days of good cutting weather. Corn has been coming off at 15-18% which is drier than normal and the yield is running 160's with a usual average of 130's... all dryland. Beans have been running 55-60 with an average of 35!

Man does a Hitachi 160 have a lot of pull! Oh, I heard that some counties can't sell any corn due to the toxins is that true. Think it was over in IA. Just curious.
