Started beans on Tuesday. May have the day off today. Its trying to spit a little rain here.

Yields have been all over the place depending on how the field lays. First field made only 38 and the one I was in last nite made 58 bu. to the acre. The low flat ground was to wet all summer and real took a hit yield wise.

I may make a 50 bu average but not betting on it.

What are the yields in your area?

South of you 60 miles the beans are yielding good. Some are 40's but there have been weighed yields in the low 70's. Looks like upper 50s might be the average. For the year, most everyone is pleased. The exception are the fields that went under water in June. Did you lose much Gary?
 
Here in Southern WI, the bean yields are just plain bad. Talked to yet another guy an from an hour west of here last night who said he will be lucky to average 30 and likely won't meet his contract.
 
Drive by visual said 50 bushels , but guys are stunned that actuals are as low as high 20's. Looks are deceiving.
 
Finished mine Friday night. They averaged 50 bpa. Home farm had 2 inchs of rain in august and the farm 3 miles to the south had .5 inches. Really made a differance 57 verses 44 bpa. Had killing frost in low areas Friday night. Had one feild of corn zapped at 2/3 milk line. Corn harvest is going to run late with very high gas bills this year.
 
38"rows, planted, sprayed w roundup--nothing else, 47.
15" rows, 2 shots foliar fert, one shot fungicide, 2 shots insecticide ($35/A "extra" expense) 59 bu/a.

These 2 fields are a quarter mile apart and "lay" similar. $150/A difference @ $12/bu.

Good mgmt beans on well-drained soils are running about 60 if not much ponds/replants. Low-laying/poorly drained with good mgmt are upper 40's.

I am guessing mid-50's will catch me overall, but I have a lot still to do. Later varieties are still green. This assumes the late ones are about like the earlier ones.

Southeast Ill early indication of 60 - 70 bpa some of our customers are getting corn yields in the 230-250 range. later plantings probably diiferent story. we are only drying about 2 days a week now as moistures have really dropped.
 
mine did 65-67 average except the ground that was under water, that was running 45-47, suprisingly moisture was 12 %. the beans that were underwater got hauled right to the elevator. dang dusty!!!
 
Sounds exactly like mine. First field, fifty acres, was 38. It's never done better than that. Next one was right across the creek from it and it did 53, then 54 for the next one and 58 from the last field, but it was only 24 acres. Fifty is going to be darned close to the overall ave. That first field looks like it should be good, but the PH is wrong in the low ground and the higher ground is sandy. I've darned near pulled my hair out trying for a better yield from that piece of land and it just won't happen, but overall, I'm smiling from ear- to-ear. Jim
 
Best we cut here in central Ohier 37 . It is looking like that will be the high for the year , we hanen't been in any over 30 for several days . I expect to see some 20's before were done .
 
We live in Northwest Iowa. Our yields are everywhere this year! From 14 to 53. This year Garst beans are horrible. Beans on one hill split in the middle with Pioneer and Garst and Garst was 27 and Pioneer was at 43 in that particular spot. We are not very happy at all with them. Next year its all Pioneer. No doubt about it. That was ridiculous.
