huntrman Posted September 5, 2005 Report Share Posted September 5, 2005 Went out to hang another deer stand, trim shooting lanes, and fix another stand and couldn't help but notice combines in the fields already!? This is kind of odd for me to see this early because it seemed like it took forever last year to get corn out. Anyone else seeing this already? Just curious.

BIG_BUCK_1 Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 Re: Already? no but it took a while last year for the corn to come out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LifeNRA Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 Re: Already? They are picking some now around here! They have super size ears on the stalks and lots of them! I believe they are having a BUMBER CROP this year! They are starting eary to get the work done! At least in my area! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mach1 Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 Re: Already? I saw a guy picking corn on Saturday on my way to a wedding. Me and my buddy with me were both shocked. This is probably the earliest I've seen corn being picked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huntrman Posted September 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 Re: Already? Well driving around the country looking for deer, I have noticed that the corn is indeed looking really dry this early. It amazes me, but then again I look at the front yard and I can see why it's so dry. Not much rain here in awhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 Re: Already? Not usually this early, and no not yet here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 Re: Already? Some of the beans are turning here, but not near combining I don't think. All of the corn I've seen is still green--including Luke's, err, my popcorn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckbuster11 Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 Re: Already? I was talking to a farmer about a week ago who said they are going to be bringing the corn down early this year as well. Sounds good to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTbowman Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 Re: Already? Yep I noticed just today a few corn fields were harvested already. Another sign of fall to me!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowJoe Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 Re: Already? I think the drought in the midwest halted a lot of the corn growth early. I haven't seen any fields being picked yet, but I wouldn't be surprised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerClay Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 Re: Already? [ QUOTE ] They weren't just chopping corn silage where they? thats the only reason i could think of for them to be out picking this early? I don't think the corn would be dry enough to be picking it yet? [/ QUOTE ] That is what I have seen so far. They have been chopping here in NY but not picking yet.
