Stuck in the eye of a hurricane. Storms all around, but No rain here for months. About 23 inches below average for the last 12 months. Sub-soil moisture is gone, even no-till fields are shot. Corn is being harvested with high yields in the 60's and lows in the teens. A lot of corn has been baled up for hay for cows. Had great plant health, just tried to pollinate when temps were 110 and wind was blowing 30mph. Soybeans are a not, if they haven't died already, and I am haying all of my milo which stopped in the boot to wait for moisture or cooler weather. Got neither. For a 24 year old farmer trying to keep his head above water, this is bad. Wheat made 40 bushel and price went up some. But, as farmers always say, it can't get much worse. By the way, I am in north central oklahoma where 120 bu dryland corn is a bumper crop, and 40 bu beans are great. Wheat never pays the bills unless you graze cattle, but we can't keep cattle for fear of a bad winter storm with no hay. Hay meadow that usually produces 400 large round bales made barely 110 this year.
