Is 25 bushels OK for HRW? 63 bushels would be like 100 bushel SRW wouldn't it? Have always heard 50 is very respectable for HRW.

Are you close to that scoundral in Missouri that grows them 160 bushel soybeans?

No, 25 is below 7yr county average of approx 32. Before the drought, I averaged about 47-52.

Not many beans around here.

Wow. That stinks. What is your opinion of USDA crop size projections? In my opinion, USDA has become a 4 letter word. I don't believe a thing they say good or bad. I think there is an agenda there.

Maybe the drought you have will soon get a long term pattern shift and reverse and get you guys out of that misery. Just don't want you to experience what Missouri has this year.

USDA is a four-letter word!! lol Since 08', it is what it is.
& Yes climate has a way of evening itself out....almost 45" inches of rain this year so far, about 10" over yearly avg. total.

Great read Ed!!!!!!!
