Well, in my sandy soil here things are going fairly well. Rye is a few days from knocking down, should be very high yeilding and I will take picks of the harvest to share, oats are still short in areas, but seem have headed out nicely, beans are really branching out and have started to blossom, just hoping for more height and rain when they pod out. My corn however has me curious. I walked the feild tonight and it is well over 6' high, close to 7', and tasseling, and in the areas where I spread manure and fertilizer each stalk has 3 little cobs starting and some appear to have 4, isnt it an awefully early stage to have even 2 cobs coming on? I always thought that a 3rd ( never amounting to anything) cob develops later after the 1st and 2nd cobs are forming. Is this a good sign of high yeilding corn? I do have a few small area where the volunteer corn was thick and will end up chopping for cow feed. I must say we do need a decent rain in the next few days or corn and beans will be hurting. Dont need a major down pour or my rye will be knocked down. Hows bout the rest of ya.
