It is what it is guys my crop she gone. It sucks but nothing you can do about the weather. On the bright side may get some fall work done that is overdue by about 10 years lol.

SF3, I liked your humor...funny but true words! I guess everyone is here for the intellectual conversation and not any humor.

FJLIP we won't need 2 months to see how this turns out we are about 14 days away from turning wheels as everything is burning up. Frost August 5th probably wouldn't hurt us as crazy as that sounds.

S/F , I hear what your saying lol.

I have never seen frost as early as Aug 5.
The earliest frost that I remember was in 1974, we had a bumper crop in the field, we were 2 years into farming and a son was due in 5 days. On Aug 13, we had a down pour of more than 5 inches, then frost on August 15 and the crop smelt like sour cabbage. We survived the feed samples but those who kept their bins locked sold their durum for #2 and 3 the next year.

Other than MAYBE land/machinery payments, very little debt was incurred in growing a crop incomparison to today.

We're in different times.
