Hello, folks.

Welcome back to the Straightforward Farming Podcast.

I'm your host, Tony Reed, alongside Nick McCormick.

And harvest is getting underway here now.

We've shucked, I don't know, not quite 200 acres of corn.

How do you guys get along?

We just got started yesterday.

Get a little bit of corn done, cut some beans today.

So getting into it a little bit. And it's good some beans today. So getting into it a little bit.

And it's good to be back. Yep. Yeah, I'm same here. So far, pleasantly surprised with yields.

Yeah. Yeah. I was, I was kind of mixed all season long at first, you know, back in June. So I thought, you know, man, it's going to be really good yields. Then as we got into August, I'm like, I don't really know that it's there, but now that the combines have rolled,

I've been pleasantly surprised.

Yeah, so far so good.

Yeah, we're going to, we had two inches of rain here,

so we're going to wait today's Friday.

We're going to wait until Monday, let things set for the weekend,

and then start out cutting beans on Monday be the first beans we've cut so I'm anxious to get into them you know see what we got there but uh so far corn yields couldn't be happier I mean we're looking

field averages of I think the lowest I've been in was well there's one there's 29 acres in the

river bottom that we knew had severe water damage throw that. It made 177 field average.

But outside of that, I've been in 215, up to 240 field averages.

So I'll take that all day long in a dirtland farm.

Yeah, can't beat that.
