Harvest begins

Made a trip down to Iowa today and if you live there and own a combine but weren't running it, you were the only one. Lots of beans coming out. Looked like the first day as I didn't see any finished fields. One guy was taking corn.
 
The potato guys are going to be trying to swallow their nuts for about 3 weeks after tonight supposed to get down to 8 degrees and that?s the high for about a week
 
We got going on beans Monday around 3 pm, wife and I busted our 60 yo butts as hard as we could for 48 hours, we did sleep a little but ended up getting 1/2 our beans out before getting rained out today at 3. Yield seems to be in the mid 50's hard to be sure they're going in a bin on the farm.
 
Where did you go, I was near Clear Lake Iowa?

A lot going on in North and Western Iowa, nothing here near Cedar Rapids.
 
You?re Celsius?

Lot of folk started beans the past 2 days, mine could use a freeze, wet with a few leaves on yet.

Neighbor is doing silage and high moisture corn, about all I see in my neighborhood we are usually a little wetter.

Hard to sit on your hands when you see others running and the forecast......

It's really lame. Went in to fsa and gave them a bushel estimate. I've filled these bins with beans for 15 years so I've got a pretty good idea of what's in there even so I reported a little high. I got spot checked that's even lamer. Due to the fact that I had federal crop insurance the number I gave the fsa and federal crop had to be within 15 percent. What a joke my federal crop agent had told me to report the same bushels to both agencies. Turned out the test weight on the beans was high and I was within 75 bushels on 12,000 bushels. I satisfied the spot check so I'm keeping my mouth shut to them on the 75 bushels.
 
I?m in Fahrenheit. And yes it stinks when you have crops that aren?t quite ready and everyone else is going
