Beans Turned out OK

super99 · Nov 22, 2009

I planted my beans too early this year, April 22, and they came up real spotty. Went back in about the 20th of May and replanted over what was there. They really looked poor. Amazing what a wet summer can do on sandy soil. They looked a lot better at harvest. Best beans I ever had on this place, 55 bu/a. Chris

Glad to here your beans turned out so good. Don't know where the beans came from but somehow they came through. We have a lot to be thankful for this year! Hows the corn doing? We are harvesting corn this weekend but need at least a week to get done with the way the weather forecasts may be heading. Armand

trying to figure out your first picture, did you plant 30s with skip row and the skip rows not come very well? also trying to guess your combine, is it by chance a white?

Hey Chris,
Maybe you need to have the grandsons help more often!

It's surprising what beans can recover from. I had a hail storm break the necks of a lot of them that were just up one year making the stand a little thin. The survivors bushed out and compensated a lot and produced a decent yield.

If I remember right from a earlier picture it is a MF.

I'll take a guess at the combine. Looks like a gleaner reel. Maybe a F or F2?

First planting was with a grain drill with every other feed run blocked off( 14" rows). When I replanted, I used my 4-36 White 5100 with the drawbar slid all the way to one side and then turn at the end and plant back in the same tracks to make 18" rows. Combine is an old MF 750. Chris

Corn is done. They came Saturday to haul a load out of the bin so I could put the last of it in. When I find out how big of a load he took, then I can figure out what it made, but I'm thinking close to 180 bu/a. Got it all transfered in today. It was a good year for this sandy hill farm.Chris

Wish he lived closer, I'd have plenty of help, but I don't seem to get much done when he is here. He did help finish the cornbining. Chris

Looks like a combine driver to me.
Or was he deer hunting?
