Just got back from viewing crop damage from hail and high winds here in So. Mn. I totally lost 80 acres of beans and 35 acres of corn and 15 acres of wheat. Another 100 acres of corn is heavily damaged but I will leave it for maybe a half a crop.Another 80 acres of beans suffered maybe 10 bu/acres loss and another 12 acres of wheat lost maybe half the yield. 10 acres of alfalfa that was ready for 2nd cutting is total loss. Now the problems I am faced with is we had 3" rain with this so will be several days before I can start replanting. And I'm not sure how I can get my drill or planter to plant in all the residue from the corn. I'm thinking if I disk it 2 or even 3 times I can maybe drill it into beans. Or their is a guy about 20 miles from here that has a no-till drill. Maybe hire him. I suppose the alfalfa will come back and will not affect the next cutting or will it? Anybody got any ideas that I'm not considering? I welcome any suggestions. Thanks. The Flying Belgian.
