The Field Report

The Crop Year Is Above Average…

November 9, 2020

A Good Crop …but not outstanding, Trent Brandenburg sums it up. The excellent harvest weather enabled smooth field work. The dry days helped field drydown which lowers post-harvest cost for drying. Trent is happy with his yields. The nice fall weather enabled fall tillage to proceed rapidly. Trent is done with his fall field work. […]

Trent Brandenburg is pleased with his corn and soybean crops’ recovery from a challenging start to the crop year. “You can’t see the holes,” he observed, referring to how the crops have developed enough to mask some smaller ponded areas. He has replanted some soybeans twice. “They won’t amount to anything,” Trent estimated. Some ponded areas from the first replanting he just left. Overall Trent expects a satisfactory crop: “It won’t be a bumper crop, but it will be better than average.”

Trent has been mowing grass. Grass usually turns brown and dormant in July and August from the high temperatures and dry soil. Trent says he is happy to have green grass to mow because that means the soil moisture and temperature are optimum for his corn and soybeans.
