After an early summer of good rains we've gotten really dry here in central Kansas. The beans are trying to fill pods but are really starting to show drought stress. The double-crop beans that went in after wheat are barely above the stubble and are just sort of sitting there waiting for rain. A few combines are starting to roll in corn but I suspect that this might all be high moisture at this point as there's still a lot of green in the fodder. The dryland corn should be pretty good around here as it was relatively mature when it got dry. Might impact the test weight but the yield should be good. (In our area a guy is happy if his dryland corn yield breaks 100 bu/acre and is satisfied with 80. You Corn Belt guys would consider that a total disaster but our production expenses are a lot less.) The full-season milo is all headed out and looks pretty good. Temporary dry spells like we're having right now don't seem to faze milo much so it will probably yield fairly well. A few guys double-crop milo and since it isn't growing much right now the potential problem will be getting the grain to dry down so late in the year.

As I mentioned, it is so common that I have yet to buy a tractor that did not have JB Weld used somewhere. It is sometimes used so well you can't tell its there and other times used as a sloppy quick fix. Finding where and how it can be used correctly is key to whether you are using it as an "inelegant hack" or an integral solution to difficult and expens
