What will they do ?

I checked the farmers corn next door...no change bs..just silk beginning to peak through..now he planted all his fields up here the same day. This is normally cut for silage but when mature...what w ill they do with such late fields if they dont have time to develop?

[land 1]

im pretty sure they can still cut for silage just a very low amount of grain

Bad year for corn... evidently. Should still be silage though.

How late do you guys think they'll wait t o chop? Hes usually right on target first week maybe two of Oct...If I remember they need a bit of a dry down in moisture before cutting?

Leave it stand and plow it in next year

The corn in friendship is probably 7 feet tall with giant ears.

Oh this is that or more...but just silking out..we already had a light frost here...We drove by thevother farmers soy bean fields...they arent close to a lesf drop filled with pods and his corn is nearly ripe...but those were higher and drier fields on the east ern slope of hill.

They will wait a little longer than normal.  The energy is still in the plant, so it's not a total loss if they don't end up with much grain.  It could make very good feed when chopped.

Their new silage bunker is so big they use a good sized bulldozer to make the "mountain" and pack it down...by the time they cover it it makes the semi trailer, manure tankers look like match boxes...
