| |  | | Done. Beans all planted in June were just below average yield. Corn about average yield, and kind of hard to dry. Then getting dryer gas became an issue. Survived that. Stopped combining corn one day to bale stalks and it started to mist before the baler got there. It appears there are no DRY stalk bales to buy around here.
