Beans is gone!

Dave H (MI) · Oct 17, 2015

Just about everywhere around here. Last two days fellas been combining them like crazy. A couple guys been shelling corn. Must be an earlier variety than mine...I still got some green in the field and the ears I picked don't appear quite ready. Nice to see it getting done before December! Thinking I should be ready to go in a couple weeks. Last year I took the corn off the week before Christmas...and it was "early" corn...and I still took a beating at the elevator.

A lot of beans still standing here. I started picking corn Monday. I've got my two biggest cribs filled,just finished the second one right after supper. There's four more loads in the 22 acre field I'm picking,13 acres in another field yet. All that's left to fill are three round cribs. I'm not going to have enough room. Ideally it wouldn't take over three days to fill those cribs,but I'll be more than happy if they're done by the end of the day next Friday. I don't know what I'll do with the rest of it,depends on how much is left.

Weekend before last, a guy up the road a was told me he combined 15 acres. Said it tested 20.08. That was dryer than I thought it would be.

Put it on the ground and feed it first.

We had a very good corn harvest here in western MN/eastern SD as well. With full wire cribs, I made an outside pile with hay bales.

Neighbors just got my beans off today. 13.6 moisture. There's a few left in the area but not much. Some corn has come down, but I bet 7/8 of it is still standing. My little 15 acre field is still around 30 percent moisture. Wasn't planted until the last week of may though. Ionia area.

Our neighbors started cutting beans the same day they harvested our grapes- last Thursday. They can cover some serious ground with that new 45 foot draper platform!

RRL- if there are any cheapo gravity wagons on CL near you, you could fill e'em up and roll them inside or tarp them...

I most likely will of there's a lot. Just a little and I might let it stand and grind it as I go along or grind it and unload it in the bunker silo.
I piled 35 loads a few years ago and got a visit from the DNR. They said I was baiting deer.

I've only gotten about a hundred acres into it so far. One 50 acre field was very nice. The next was very poor. That hill is that way and I know it, but I always have high hopes. It hasn't rained in a very long time. I took in a semi load today that moisture tested 8.6. I wish I has just a little MORE moisture. It's hurting my dollar side!
