| |  | | Most beans below average. Corn wet, refused to dry down. Way more 28%+ corn was harvested than normal. Some area test weights in the upper 40s was reported. Our corn weighed 53 lbs and was common, 56 rare and 59 lbs (just one load) was the unicorn. First half planted May 16th and second half planted June 4-11, huge ears, looked really good. Turned out to be worst whole farm average yield we've had going back to at least 1993. Never doing that again. At the end of the day, beans went 57 (down 8 from 2018) and corn went 180 (down 55 from 2018), and I actually feel fortunate. Some had it worse. | | |
