You hit the nail square on the head. I could worry my self to death but that wouldnt help anything. No matter what happens with this crop next spring we will do it all again. Other than this last corn field our corn is all up, has nice stands, really looks good, is growing like crazy and most of it is sprayed. With only a few beans left to plant we will get them sooner or later. We do have crop insurance but unless the market prices drop I dont expect our crops to be poor enough to really collect much. I talked with the agronomist I work with before I planted this corn. We discussed alot of different scenarios. I ran the numbers comparing planting beans instead of corn and it looks like the odds still favored planting corn. He felt confident we should still be able to pull at least 160 bpa off of this field with good hybrid selection and some intense managemnet and scouting. With fall corn being 4.40 at the elevator that seemed like a good gamble to take. It has been tough at times but I am still finding ways to laugh about what we are dealing with. bill
