Yep ,its not a missprint! 8;45 pm and I just got in from picking my corn. What a bad year 2011 was for corn.. Got planted on June 10,delayed because of rain and wet feild. Then almost no rain thru the summer. Got late maturity corn instead of early. I know ,a mistake!.Then in the fall couldnt get it to dry down lower than 29%. Thought I would wait till ground froze solid enough to get across,That never happened. So now after a few days in the high 70's,I finally got in the feild!Alot of wet places,and a lot of ruts to disc shut. I didnt test the moisture of the corn,but it's got to be really dry.Unloading I have alot of shelled corn in with the ears!!.It all feed the same!! Doug
 
Last year, 'bout this time, north of Dorchester, Nebraska, I drove past several fields of standing corn. When I drove past a week later, the ground had been worked and a new crop planted.

I assumed the corn had been harvested.
 
Was in Omaha NE, two weeks ago and seen a field of corn just off the interstate and Hwy 50 and seen some soybeans in also before we got into Omaha. Both crops still looked good as far as standing. chris
 
Had an old friend who used to leave his out all winter- I don't know what hybrid, but it always stood good. He was usually late in planting, raised hogs, and finished picking in late spring. Big earred plants, not real high in population. But he always seemed to yield very well.
 
That field is about 1 mile north of I80, yeah, he has picked it in the spring for several years now. The combine often spends the winter out in the middle of that field too. Saw it today, looks like he will get done if it doesn't rain next week.
