Some of our corn looks really rough, and some looks pretty nice. Not sure why such a drastic difference.
Our late planted corn (end of June) was too wet so it was yellow for the first month, but then since then we've hardly gotten any rain so it's not very tall and starting to tassle out.
Our second crop hay was waist high or better because of all the rain in July, but this weekend we're baling 3rd crop and without the rain it didn't even get knee high in most spots.
Our oats did pretty good, (as far as I can tell) we figure we got about 75-80 Bu/acre, and some was knocked down to the ground so bad and it couldn't get picked up by the windrower. The new seeded alfalfa seems to be coming through it quite well though.
If we're lucky, we'll get a 4th crop yet and we'll put that in the bag with the corn. The late planted corn we'll chop later and put in the silo.
