Brrr...First frost 2016

It's not late but green holidays start Oct 2. My mother says that harvest should be done by then, so if we start tomorrow, the 14 th, and we can keep moving, we may hit the target🌞🍀

Last significant rain here was about a week ago. About 4 tenths but it just as well could have been an inch, it would have been wet to the same degree. Just been drizzly off and on since then so net drying has been poor. The humidity hasn't been insanely bad here the last two mornings, that is what we need, a dry air mass to help out. BUT we checked the straw on some swathed cereals the other day and it wasn't even horrible but the grain wasn't hard either. The bonus here is we aren't saturated to start with so the ground could take a bit of moisture without making mud. Maybe the canola will go through the combine easier now... get some of that straw broken down a bit. Lots of material to push through the old beast.

Be safe everyone, its not that late yet.

Was it really lodged so you had to cut low? Driving around those big swaths are 2/3 stem. Why not just cut under the pods?

No ice on water but roofs and grass white here. Started about 1030 last night.

Never froze here either, cloudy all night.

Couldn't have froze anyway, moon is not full.

Froze here , not hard but was between plus 1 and minus 1 from 11 pm on
A south breeze picked up around midnight to keep it from falling too hard.
Had heaters going in the sweet corn field trying to save 50,000 corn plants most of the night .
Will know in a few days if it was worth while .
Corn leaves were froze but cobs seemed fine at 7 am .
Will not have any affect on field crops here at all , 99% matured and about 40% off

That corn should be just right for picking by the time we are done the Durum. If you hear some rustling at night, its not me - haha
