[QUOTE="KDM, post: 272736, member: 314"] A good friend of my Dad is a big farmer and he told my Dad that they are done trying to harvest. He left thousands of acres of wheat, beans, and corn in the field. The wheat sprouted in the head before they could get it or is flat on the ground, the beans are flooded or you can't get to'em and are so over wet it's ridiculous, and their corn barely if even hit black layer. So with the increased fuel to get at whatever wet beans due to having to go slower, the cost of drying or taking the drying fee hit for the beans and corn, the increased maintenance on equipment from going through mud and dealing with wet grain, and the corn not being mature, they've winterized the equipment and are planning on next spring working everything into the dirt. I know this guy pretty well and hearing this sent a chill to my core. I also know quite a few cattle farmers that lost more than half if not all their hay crop due to rain and or not being able to get at the hay. All this adds up to a big SUCK SANDWICH in my book. NOT GOOD!! [/QUOTE]
