So, after last night, how long until you can start combining, will any corn still be standing by then, and how much mud can your combine go through?

About 1/3 of my corn is broke off, hard to tell if it?s above or below the ear, too muddy to get close enough to look. Corn is so weak from this miserable year.

Will be a week before the ponds go down and the mud settles some, if it doesn?t rain more.

If this keeps up like the last three years, I?ll have to get tracks for the old Gleaner....... be worth several times what the machine is. :)

Reminds me of last year here in central MN.
Worst harvest ever.
Had to drag the chopper with two 200hp through the waist high mud and we only had to put up 1600 tons of silage but it took us over a month to do it.
I waited for the ground to freeze before I combined the corn.
 
Some of the same here in SW WI. We had a new disease called tar spot. The ones with it the worst have corn that just falls over. I have one field that broke over some in the wind last night. Neighbor chopped half of a field for silage a few weeks ago and most of it broke over last night. My daughter in MO said there is lots of down corn reels being used this fall. Hope to maybe try beans tomorrow but guess it will be Monday and rain again Tue. Tom
