Drove 200 mile round trip here in southern MN on Sunday, one very small bean field out, one combine was in a bean field in the late afternoon.

I typically start either side of Oct 1st in my wet heavy soils. Beans are very uneven, a 100 foot circle looks to be dry, next 100 foot cirxle has greeen leaves & pods & beans yet.

Corn looks odd - it's dying from the top down, and burned up from the bottom up. It's not drying down at this point.

We had terrible dry here, got an inch of rain after it was too late, made some crops come back & go green again. Everything is off.

Should work out, but hard to compare it to what we've seen before - very different conditions.

I saw one field of early maturing beans that was partly harvested here in upstate SC(rain came to stop harvest). Across the road there was a field of beans no tilled into grain stubble that is green and growing, another month or so until frost. One field of corn that had not been combined for some reason, it has no green showing on stalks. Hope deer don't harvest it.

Same thing is happening here in Mo., this has year has been so strange. If we are lucky enough not to get an early frost we should do pretty good, but my lord what an unstable market!

beans are starting to turn here finally, some corn out at 16% moisture. But most is still near 30%.
