Corn around here hasn't even tasseled.
TexasBred":9aanpfjv said:Haven't seen it this year but they've been cutting a huge percentage of the corn over in that area for silage the last 10 years or more. Ensiling process will reduce any nitrates considerably so hopefully won't be a problem. What little corn I've seen down around Waco looked pretty pitiful.1982vett":9aanpfjv said:I saw some covered piles of chopped corn near Hillsboro a few weeks ago. Also hear nitrates are exceptionally high.TexasBred":9aanpfjv said:Looks like corn prices down here are up considerably over the past few years. Farmers that have a good corn crop should make money....and don't forget that good ol' crop insurance. Saw some fields the other day that had just been cut adn they all had that four rows in the middle of the field that belong to the insurance man. :banana:

Betcha the farmer went to the banker, not the other way around.Brute 23":19pbfiae said:I feel bad because these farmers were convinced to leverage their land for cash to run their business by the banks. All it did was prolong the inevitable and cost them their land.

$3.48 a lb at. HEB.....Jogeephus":hkr7a178 said:Okra is $42/bushel.
I'm getting 10 lb of okra every 2 days out of my garden. I'm fixing to go side dress it and my tomatoes with some 15-0-151982vett":1s16jsq3 said:$3.48 a lb at. HEB.....Jogeephus":1s16jsq3 said:Okra is $42/bushel.
Apparently the farmer qualified. Banks don't have a reputation for making bad loans on purpose and I know you don't believe it but they really hope you pay it in full.Brute 23":wkc1sz3z said:Should a bar tender give you a drink as long as you keep asking for them?TexasBred":wkc1sz3z said:Betcha the farmer went to the banker, not the other way around.Brute 23":wkc1sz3z said:I feel bad because these farmers were convinced to leverage their land for cash to run their business by the banks.

Careful. That is not something to wager on.
They keep calling me to come meet their new officer. I have met the guy twice already. He must not remember me.
Probably gonna get higher. Nobody wants to cut it. I thought about planting about 5 acres next year. I'm not sure I can keep up with it. What do you think?Jogeephus":9suue8rf said:Okra is $42/bushel.
Red clover is $58/bu, Alfalfa is $85/bu.TexasBred":2udm00d8 said:Jogeephus":2udm00d8 said:Okra is $42/bushel.
Guy said he paid $36 for a bushel of peas the other day.

Maybe it's time for these poor row-croppers to get into the small grains market. Old timers use to grow lots of seed clover, and harvest it with a JD30 pull-type. Plus all that free nitrogen you get!
