This feild got off to a really rough start last spring. We got it planted, then the temp dropped drastically and the seed sat for 3 weeks before it came up. We replanted patches that were bare, then the guy who sprayed our first planted corn did a pi$$ poor job of it and the weeds were nasty. My dad complained to the coop later on (after the weeds came back from being knocked down a little) and the corn was too high for another spraying. We're pretty sure the guy got fired or severely reprimanded because the rep from the coop just kept apologizing to us. Oddly enough, it still met the numbers the insurance company looks for so we didn't get squat for it. Our later planted corn that got put in near the middle/end of June did much better, but it was still planted after cutting 1st crop off the feilds and plowing then working the feild under. If it would have had another week or 2 to grow, it really would have been nice but we need the hay even more so we take off 1st crop from the poorest feilds and then plow them under right away so we can get corn in yet. We do plant Mycogen though, and it has grown over the top of the wagons already. Just not in a good 2-3 years. Over all it's a really good brand and we've had the most success with their hybrids. The 986 was '05, when we had enough to need to rent a bagger after the silo's were both packed full. We rented the 986 to run the rented bagger, but the clutch went out in our 1855 so we swapped and kept plugging along. Donovan from Wisconsin
