We finished my oldest son's corn Friday morning. It was a little slick but he wanted it done before Nov. 1st. He has to go out of town for work until Thanksgiving. His corn crop was a bin buster!!! He is a little north and west of me. He got an inch of rain right in the middle of a spell when I only got 2 tenths. He has had higher averages before but never this dry and this high of test weight. The yield is going to be right at 240-245 with 62-63 Lbs. test weights and 14 % moisture right out of the field. His ground is the best of all of ours. He bought his Father-in-law's farm 15 years ago or so. It has CSR in the high 80s and low 90s.
This afternoon we will try and figure out where we are going to put the corn. His bins and granary are FULL. We have two semi loads and 13 wagons left full. We where scrambling to find things to hold corn Friday as it just kept turning off corn. LOL Then we had to get it all under cover before the heavier rains Friday night. We had wagons stuck in the shop, empty cattle shed and the machinery shed. The combine bins were under cover but the tailends stuck out. We were that close to not having enough room for all of them. LOL
There is close to 8500 bushels on wagons and trucks. That is a lot but not enough to fill a bin. We may just weight it and start filling another bin at the farm. He will get his bushels but not the exact same corn when we haul it out. It is nice problem to have. My younger three boys are 10 days to two weeks from being done. They have some of their own crops and a fair amount of custom work yet. The soybeans are all done. The fellows they have left to do custom work for are the slowest ones to do. They do not have good storage so handling the grain is a bottle neck. They will more than likely park one of the combines and just finish with the one after their own corn is done.
So it shows how just one rain can make a big difference in your yield. The better soil really helps too.

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
