Ravin R10 man Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 (edited) Finished combining corn Thursday eve., Man..if you would have told me last may it would take till Jan. 21st to get the corn out..Id'a said you were nuts! Glad to have 4 wheel drive..snow was 15" deep. And to top it off it came out at 26% moisture this late! 77 day maturity too!.. Deer were really pounding it too, had 35 or 30 I was feeding.. plus the turkeys! Got 30 deer at the home farm here that look for the wheeler to come out with the goodies. Fortunately..I have a local dairy farmer who bought all my corn for high moisture grain for his cows,None of my corn dryed down to make dry corn. AS far as insurance..its a joke..you have to be insured to the hilt just to claim..not going to insure it next year..at 60% coverage, it cost $4500..and I took a $2.00 hit per bu. because of the high moisture!

layin on the smackdown Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 Man thats crazy!!! 26%!!! At what point do you call it a wash and talk to the insurance man? Just curious because we still have a ton of corn up by us, and i've heard of it getting moldy after so long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

camoman1 Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 Plenty of corn up around my neck of the woods too yet. The guy who lets me goose hunt his fields has most of his up yet....not sure if he is just going to leave it or pick it and pay to dry it...??
