Billion dollar rain ...

Yes the loss will be huge. The million dollar rain is old school. Itâ€™s a brave new word of billions.
Pretty much out of time for the crop around here. It held on for a good part of the summer but this week heat will seal the deal.

The Nov 7 snow storm played a big role in getting us this far! I can see where I pushed snow off to get at grain bags the crop gave up a couple weeks ago.

And here. Crops have looked real good. But you can see color changing and I swear patches of lighter soil it is shrinking where it once all looked the same height. The rest canâ€™t be far behind. Yield officially dropping now each day. Brutal. Never seen before on this farm.

We havenâ€™t had soil tests for years, will be on the top of the list this fall after harvest.

I did soil tests last yr and the fertility was way up after a few dryish yrs and using coated nitrogen. I still went full package this yr anyway.

Wondering if its time to skip a yr and shock my ag rep real good.

Ag reps gave up on me years ago.
