I guess dealing with farmers most my life I learned if you want something from them offer your higher price if they want something from you start with a lower price and they will be happy Thanks Again, I definitely didn't want to insult the guy and I don't mind going on the higher end as I do put value in the fact that I won't have any work involved in it.

I heard a rumor of 50 bushel corn in Adams County. My father-in-law said he doesn't expect corn to make 100 bushel per acre in Paulding County, Ohio. Beans may be around 30 bushel. I would ask around and see what the average yield is in the area before offering. Or just flat out ask what he would think is a fair price.

Still some standing corn and beans here, but except for a couple of still green bean fields here and there the bulk of it should be gone well before firearms season.

They will just be glad to have the extra browse I'm sure

Some harvesting has started up here in Miami County, but it's not in full force just yet. If you want to check out harvest and crop conditions, this is a good site: USDA crop progress 2015

Counted 7 combines on my 20 minute drive home yesterday...they've definitely got the dust flying here in eastern Bartholomew Co.

Other than seed corn, no picking going on here in Northern Starke County. A few weeks ago they picked cucumbers and potatoes.

Another question... What dictates when they decide to chisel plow a field? Seems like sometimes they plow the fields down to nothing as quick as they can, then other times they don't hardly do much. Guess I just get worried when I see them cutting So early that they have the extra time on their hands to plow the fields down to nothing. Thus not leaving hardly anything whatsoever for the deer.

Farmer friend of mine from Church told me that they get better yields when the do fall plowing. I guess it's all about money.

It's mostly about soil compaction since majority no till plant these days.

We try to work ours down quick as we can so if we start getting a lot of rain we are not out of a bunch of ground not worked. We usually wait to do corn corn stalks in the fall. Atleast around here worked ground going to corn the next year will out yield the notill corn. Working it later in the year can be tricky if it's a little bit wet because if you don't get enough hard frost to bust up the compaction the clods will be hard to bust up with a field cultivator before you plant

The farm that I can hunt chisels in the Fall right after harvest. PITA for sure because we will goose/duck hunt in the same fields and they are impossible to drive or walk in. They say they do it because traditionally the fields are too wet in the spring to work them (muck ground), and they have all they can do to get them prepared for planting as it is in the spring. They also said something about disease (?) control is better by chiseling in the Fall. They have planted corn back to back to back for a number of years in the same fields and are just now starting to rotate some fields into beans.
They have adjusted their micro nutrient fertilizer package and have not seen any decrease in productivity due to replanting corn. They feel that corn (for the past few years) even with extra fertilizer costs, has a better profit per acre than beans. They also don't have bean heads for their combines.

They haven't harvested anything by me yet. I think it was late Oct last year before they harvested around me.
I did see a nice doe running along the bean field this morning as I was walking into the woods.
I've seen three does now in my food plot.

Guess I just get worried when I see them cutting So early that they have the extra time on their hands to plow the fields down to nothing. Thus not leaving hardly anything whatsoever for the deer. It is a matter of what the ground needs. If it is compacted ground I will chisel plow and put in a cover crop. Heck, rye has a 40" tap root. That will break up ground. Also, lessons learned from the significant June-July rains. Want to get the low spots leveled and draining better with a cover crop. Cover crops are deer magnets. Not everyone uses them but I do. Actually I put in a cover crop every year. I can use a crop that is killed by hard frost so I don't have to kill it in the Spring or use a crop that holds deer. No big deal to kill it in the Spring and it improves soil tilth. Win Win for me.

They finally started harvesting around my house some, but no were close to my hunting land. I didn't hunt until Oct 24 last year, and one week later they harvested. One guy left his up until after firearm started.
