I hear some farmers in W. Ky are cutting corn for silage or baling it and replanting beans. Anybody see any of that in Indiana yet???

Not seen it yet but there are plenty of fields around here that they are gonna have to do something with.
Corn on heavy ground might have a chance with the recent rains ...... most of the corn on sandy ground is to far gone.
And we got a lot of sandy ground around here.

McCarty's in Johnson County.

I saw several fields already cut on my drive Saturday from Bedford to Kokomo to Anderson and back. Not sure about the replanting though

This is my seven year old standing in a corn field on July fourth. We were up in Decatur Co. and most fields were this bad if not worse.

My brother-in-law will be baling corn, possibly as soon as next week. Most of the farmers he cuts for are waiting on the insurance to decide. Hay is scarce, going to be a rough winter if you have livestock. Some of the corn looks great, around 6 foot tall, but pollination very questionable.

I have seen several cut corn fields in the Center Grove area, looks like e85 will be costing more than gas!

I live up in White Co., IN. Been in the seed business for 40 yrs. This is setting up to be the biggest disaster I'v seen. For corn at least, worse than 1983 and 1988. Haven't seen anybody yet cutting, and am wondering about the time frame for those with multi peril insurance.

E85 has +/-33% less energy than gasoline. We figured that out on a hunting trip from here to Wyoming. It was cheaper in $ spent per mile driven to use regular fuel and not E85.

Not sure if I did this correctly but trying to show a pic. of a buck with a small ear of corn in his mouth. Not a good pic. but he was at approx. 375 yrds. from me. I planted it for the deer but they where suppose to wait till late fall to eat it, LOL! The corn has ears but they are small & not filled out, may be too late but hope we get the rain this weekend. on the weather man being like politician's, but at least I don't think the weatherman intentionaly lies!!!!!

I sure hope that we're in the 4" zone. It's bad here. I'm pumping 25 gpm into the pond 24/7 and it's still dropping 1/4" to 3/4" per day due to evaporation and all the center pivots that are running in this area. The ponds are at the lowest levels that I've seen, and we aren't even into the "dry" part of the year.
That's a nice deer!! 5 1/2? Little bit of piebald genes in him?
